Vetulonia, 6 km Vetulonia: ancient and powerful city of the Etruscan Dodecapoli, whose traces had been completely lost, today a small and picturesque village in Maremma with an extremely interesting archaeological area. Another town to visit is Roselle which was founded by the Etruscans, before the 7th century. to. C., on a hill that overlooked the eastern shore of Lacus Prilius. This marine lake extended for about 90 square kilometers on the Grosseto plain, but over the centuries it has undergone a process of landfill and has practically disappeared. Today there remains a very small portion that corresponds to the Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve. Roselle enjoyed a favorable geographical position that allowed to control the Ombrone river, it developed therefore very quickly, to the detriment of the other Etruscan center of Vetulonia, situated instead on the north-western shore of the same lake. Roselle therefore became a lucumonia, or a city of the Etruscan dodecapoli.

Its Spa complex grew up around the sulphur springs, waterfalls and streams which have been an attraction to those seeking panacea for more than 3000 years. The Etruscans who built the town above are thought to have used these turquoise waters in sacred rites.
