Bagni di Lucca, Italian comune
Bagni di Lucca is a commune in the Province of Lucca in Tuscany. The town spreads across the Serchio River valley with several villages centered around natural hot springs that have been valued for centuries.
The hot springs attracted visitors during Roman times and were rediscovered in the Middle Ages. By the 18th century the area developed into a fashionable spa destination with growing facilities for wealthy guests.
The area is best explored by car since the villages are spread across the valley. The thermal baths have varying opening hours so check beforehand for your visit.
The commune was a refuge for writers and artists in the 19th century including Lord Byron and Alexander Dumas. This artistic past continues to shape the cultural identity of the place today.
