The history of the spa
The origins of the Stigliano Hot Springs date back to Roman times, when they were known as Thermae Stygianae. These health-giving springs were linked to the mythological River Styx and frequented by the Roman aristocracy. During the empire of Tiberius, the baths were considered the closest spa resort to the Urbe and were used by Roman soldiers to purify themselves before entering the city. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, the baths came under the control of noble families such as the Anguillara and the Orsini, who enhanced its therapeutic properties.
In the 18th century, under the ownership of the Altieri princes, a resort hotel was born to accommodate visitors to the baths. Writers such as Cappello described Stigliano as a place of conviviality.
