Civitella Marittima, the principal centre in the township of Civitella Paganico, is a charming town standing on a hill covered in cypress and olive trees and commanding a view of the Maremma plain and the Tyrrhenian coastline. It was the seat of the Aldobrandeschi family who left an important heritage of Romanesque architecture including the splendid Badia (abbey) di San Lorenzo sul Lanzo, or Badia Ardenghesca.
The town fell under the dominion of the Sienese at the beginning of the 14th century along with Paganico, the other settlement belonging to the township. Paganico, situated where the Ombrone River bends in its descent from the Sienese hills toward the Maremma plain, is known for its kaolinite quarries, but is more interesting for its artistic and monumental heritage.
The 14th and 15th century brick houses with their porticos, the remains of the city wall and the carefully planned urban structure all contribute to the town's charm. The main gates in the city wall, the Senese and Grossetana, with their typically Sienese style, are still intact and recall the old custom's houses.
The original Baths of Petriolo have always been extremely popular. The Farma stream's ancient spring spouts the sulphurous water used in so many therapeutic treatments and the devotion to hot spring cures is a rite that has been repeated for centuries in Petriolo. The first report of the spa dates from 1230 and it is still possible to see the medieval sections of the baths and the major restoration and reinforcement of the whole complex that was carried out in the 15th century.
