Bagni di Lucca
Bagni di Lucca
nown since Roman antiquity, the thermal springs of Bagni di Lucca acquired great fame in the 11th century, at the time of Countess Matilda of Canossa, until they became one of the most elegant spa in Europe during the 19th century. Bagni di Lucca was an elite destination for European tourism, which the English called the “Switzerland of Tuscany”. The Anglo-Saxons were the first to discover Bagni di Lucca and the therapeutic properties of its waters, loving it to the point of transforming it into a small second homeland. The village in fact became – and even today you can see traces of that brilliant British explosion – an exclusive meeting place for the nobility from all over Europe, and destination for illustrious guests, such as the poets Byron.
Among the most impressive signs of the historical era stands out the Ponte delle Catene, designed by Lorenzo Nottolini, one of the oldest iron bridges still standing today. Also of great importance is the Bagni Bernabò spa for relaxation, but Bagni di Lucca has also been for years among the most popular destinations for outdoor lovers for the numerous and varied water activities it offers with the splendid Lima River, surrounded by centuries-old woods and many small villages on the hills, enchanting villages such as Montefegatesi, Lucchio and many others.
