    Bagno Vignoni Thermal Pool

    Landmark

    Bagno Vignoni developed around natural thermal springs that have been in use since Roman times. Unlike other spa towns, the hot spring occupies the main square rather than a bath complex, forming the visual and spatial centre of the village. The surrounding landscape of fields and ridges contributes to its quiet, rural character.
