San Casciano dei Bagni Virtual Walking Tour - A Tuscan Village

Join us for a captivating virtual walk through the enchanting village of San Casciano dei Bagni, nestled among the rolling hills of southern Tuscany. Famous for its ancient thermal springs and medieval charm, this hidden gem bursts into life each summer with one of its most colorful and unique traditions: the Palio di San Cassiano.

As we wander through quiet stone streets and admire sweeping views, your guide will share stories of the town’s noble past and its strong ties to Roman and Etruscan heritage. It’s also the celebration of San Cassiano, the village’s patron saint—a day filled with history, devotion, and vibrant festivities.

On this special occasion, San Casciano transforms into a Renaissance stage. Flags decorate the streets, and the four contrade—Campanile, Porticciola, Pozzo, and Gattineto—parade through the historic center in full costume. Dames, knights, drummers, guards, and judges lead a grand procession from the castle to the Church of San Leonardo. There, the Palio is blessed, and the captains take their solemn oath before the traditional games begin.

This virtual tour is a joyful blend of history, folklore, and the spirit of a Tuscan village in celebration. A perfect experience for anyone curious about Italy’s authentic local traditions and hidden cultural treasures.
