Already appreciated by the ancient Romans, the hot springs known as the Bagni di San Filippo were restored in 1566, by the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo de' Medici. They are named after Saint Filippo Benzi, a Florentine monk and hermit, who, as legend has it, miraculously caused the hot springs to flow from a rock.
