Abstract (EN): This paper examines the Roman healing spa of Termas de São Vicente, located in the municipality of Penafiel (Portugal), and evaluates the latest data concerning the spatial distribution and architectural typologies of Roman settlements in the southern region of Callaecia. The study specifically concentrates on the communities in the area closest to the spa, which were presumably integral to its operational logistics and among those most immediately influenced by its presence.
