The Valdichiana area has been inhabited for thousands of years, and the many remaining traces of ancient civilizations are of great archaeological and anthropologic interest.
There are numerous museums in the area and the Museo Civic Archeolgico delle Acque in Chianciano houses many Etruscan artefacts from two necropolis, the remains of a temple and a farm as well as those found at the site of a Roman baths.
The Museum is situated at the beginning of Via Dante, close to the old town.
