Legend has it that the springs were formed by the lightning bolts, thrown by the Roman god Jupiter during a battle against Saturn. The bolts that missed the target were believed to have caused the natural formations. The sulphurous spring waters, at an average temperature of 37.5 °C, are known for their therapeutic properties, thus many locals and tourists flock the area to bathe and relax any time of the year.
Don’t miss this natural attraction when you visit Italy.
