Bagno Vignoni Thermal Baths (Siena)

The town: Bagno Vignoni
It is a little town well set up, like a terrace on the Orcia Valley, with a panorama of rocks and castles all around. Here, in its beautiful square, springs out at 60sC waters rich in sodium chloride, calcium and iron carbonates, high radioactive calcium, magnesium and sodium sulphates. Even St. Catherine and Lorenzo dei Medici were healed by these waters. It is 23 km from Montepulciano.The characteristic of Bagno Vigoni, besides the thermal waters, is its unchanged structure. Infact, the main square of this town is not like it can be imagined in other places, but it is made by boiling water that flows at 52°.
On the edge of the small town there is a stone culvert where the hot water runs. You take off your shoes and put your feet in. After a long hike it is great. The water is very hot and full of minerals.

The thermal water basin, by the fact, is in the middle of the of the square, closed on three sides by the town walls, one metre and a half tall. All around there are some buildings realised by Bernardo Rossellino in Pope?s Pio II honour, and the open arcade where S. Caterina da Siena stopped.
