Terme di Roselle

Terme di Roselle in Grosseto, Tuscany, draws sulfurous thermal waters from the same volcanic geology underlying the Etruscan city of Roselle — one of the most important archaeological sites in Etruria, whose partially excavated ruins of city walls, forum, Roman baths, and residential districts are visible on the hill directly overlooking the modern spa complex. The sulfurous springs were likely already known to the Etruscans who built Roselle at this strategic Maremma position, and the Roman city that succeeded it certainly exploited the geothermal resources visible in the thermal bath ruins at the archaeological site. The Grosseto Maremma coastal plain context — the Diaccia Botrona lagoon nature reserve, the Monte Argentario peninsula, the Orbetello and Capalbio coastal lakes, and the Uccellina Maremma Regional Park wild horse populations — surrounds this Etruscan-heritage spa with the finest wetland and coastal landscape in Tuscany.
