History

The history of San Casciano is strictly connected to the presence of hot waters, with 42 springs, a mean temperature of 42°C and a daily delivery of 5.5 millions litre (third in Europe).

According to a legend, the "Balnea Clusinae" were founded by Porsenna, a the Etruscan king of Chiusi. The baths were popular also during the Roman era, Augustus being amongst its users.

in the 3rd-4th century a Christian "Pieve" of St. Mary "ad balneo" existed in San Casciano. During the Middle Ages it was initially under Lombard rule, and later under the Visconti di Campiglia and the Abbey of San Salvatore. Troops of San Casciano took part at the Battle of Montaperti in 1260. The last Visconti ruler was Monaldo, who was also "podestà" of Florence in 1389. San Casciano was acquired by the Republic of Siena in 1412. In Renaissance times its baths attracted visitors from the whole Europe, but they decayed from the 19th century, recovering only from the early 21th century.
