Porretta Terme spa is located in the "Porretta Terme formation", in particular in the arenitic member called "Arenarie di Suviana" (formerly known as "Arenarie di Porretta" or "Macigno di Porretta") characterised by Oligocene lithic arenites with a vertical stratification due to Apenninic tectonic movements. Several sulphuric thermal springs have been encountered in an artificial tunnel network realised in the 19th century. These old underground environments are similar to caves and host secondary mineral deposits.
