San Casciano dei Bagni is a small town in the Province of Siena centered around natural hot springs. The village has characteristic stone buildings arranged on hillside terrain where warm water flows from underground.
The settlement grew around thermal springs that Romans valued and used for their healing properties. Medieval times saw the development of a permanent community as the warm waters continued to attract visitors.
The town gained attention after workers found ancient bronze statues during recent digging, now displayed in a dedicated archaeological space. These discoveries reveal how people valued the thermal waters thousands of years ago.
The town sits on elevated terrain and is accessible by car through regional roads connecting to nearby cities. Spring and autumn offer pleasant conditions for exploring, as summer heat can be intense in this part of Tuscany.
Multiple natural springs bubble up from the ground throughout the area, all maintaining the same warm temperature. This consistent flow of hot water makes the system one of the most significant thermal networks on the continent.
