Nearby to Campiglia Marittima is the Terme Calidario. This natural hot water spring has a temperature of 36 degrees and flows into a pond which the public can use.
The Etruscan and Roman civilisations that lived here before would have most certainly availed of these thermal mineral rich waters to bathe in. During the 13th century, protective walls were built around the pond so that it could fill up even more for the publics’ enjoyment.
Taste a sweet local dessert called Crushes Campigliese made with pine nuts, eggs, flour and sugar. Traditionally this sweet cake is eaten along with a glass of Vin Santo. Campiglia Marittima is a quaint little town that’s well worth a visit during a tour of Livorno province.
