Bagno Romano, il Bagno Bossolo e la Caldagna | Ancient Roman baths and hot springs, San Casciano dei Bagni, Tuscany |
The history of San Casciano is strictly connected to the presence of hot waters, with 42 springs, a mean temperature of 42 °C (108 °F) and a daily delivery of 5.5 million litres (1,500,000 US gal) (third in Europe). According to a legend, the Balnea Clusinae were founded by Porsenna, an Etruscan king of Chiusi. The baths were popular also during the Roman era, Augustus being amongst its users. The free thermal baths of San Casciano dei Bagni include three pools of water, the Bagno Grande, also known as Bagno Romano, Bagno Bossolo and the Caldagna. Of the three, only the Bagno Grande (il vasconi) is currently used as a free spa.
