Le Caldane

Located in Gracciano, the baths of Le Caldane are a significant testimony of the Etruscan and Roman past in this land where thermal water with therapeutic properties still emerges today. These are waters with a temperature of about 20 °, rich in calcium salts that form a suggestive natural mirror of clear waters, bordered by stony ruins and green woods where once there was also a mill. It seems that the thermal baths, already exploited by Etruscans and Romans in the Middle Ages (1260) were destroyed by the Sienese and then restored by the Colligiani two centuries later (1440). The crystalline water is now contained by a stone wall that contains two other smaller pools immersed in the greenery of the surrounding countryside, with trees lining the stream that continues from the natural pool. Unmissable stop for those who find themselves passing through both the therapeutic properties and the natural context in which the baths are immersed.
