	A large hot spring as a central town square, that makes Bagno Vignoni unique among all villages in southern Tuscany. Through history, many well-known personalities have taken a bath in this Roman swimming pool, including Lorenzo de Medici, Pope Pius II, Saint Catherine of Siena, and Oscar Wilde. The pool on the square is off-limits for bathing, but you can take a free dip at the Parco dei Mulini, which is a short walk from the town center. The warm water flows through open channels towards the River Orcia. The final track of this itinerary runs through the Parco dei Mulini, the perfect place to soothe your feet, as Medieval pilgrims and centuries of tired travelers must have done before you.
