Thermal Baths in Pisa
The beneficial properties of these waters have been known for centuries. For the Romans the thermal baths were the places where they could regenerate their body and socialize. Even the Greek physician Hyppocrates studied the effects of the hot waters that gush out of the ground.
So, if you are on holiday in the town of the Leaning Tower, why do not you visit one of the three thermal resorts in the province of Pisa, namely San Giuliano Terme, Vico Pisano and Casciana Terme?
-
San Giuliano, which in the past was also called Acquae Pisanae and Bagni di Pisa, is only 7 kilometres from the town of the Leaning Tower. The Romans were well familiar with this place (mentioned by Pliny the Elder in one of his works), where in the 19th century stayed several illustrious men of letters. In San Giuliano the water gushes out of the ground at a temperature of 38°/40° C.
-
About 20 kilometres from Pisa are Vico Pisano and Uliveto Terme. The latter is widely renowned for the presence of a spring of thermal water.
-
Casciana Terme, which in the past was called Acqui and Bagni di Casciana, is on the hills, between Parlascio and Vivaia, about 35 kilometres from Pisa. The legend goes that it was Matilda of Canossa who discovered the beneficial properties of its water, which gushes out of the ground at 36°/37° C.
