Terme di San Casciano Etruscan

Terme di San Casciano Etruscan is located in San Casciano dei Bagni in the Province of Siena in Tuscany, where sulphated and chloride thermal springs—among the hottest in Tuscany at temperatures reaching 42°C—have been used since Etruscan times and were favoured by Roman emperors including Augustus, whose dedication of the springs is recorded in historical sources from the classical period. The sulphate-chloride dual mineral composition of San Casciano's thermal waters carries properties recognized in Italian balneological practice for musculoskeletal conditions, skin disorders, and circulatory wellness, while the extraordinary 2022 discovery of 24 intact bronze Etruscan and Roman votive statues in the sacred spring confirmed the site's 2,300-year history of ritual and therapeutic spring veneration. San Casciano dei Bagni—perched on a hilltop above the Val d'Orcia, with panoramic views over Tuscany's most cinematically beautiful landscape of cypress avenues, rolling hills, and medieval fortified villages—frames this ancient sacred thermal site within one of Italy's most universally celebrated and internationally recognized natural and cultural landscapes.
