Very close to Florence, but has a distinct character of its own. It’s situated in a splendidly panoramic position on the hill overlooking Florence.Unlike Florence, Fiesole is of Etruscan origin, and both Etruscan and Roman remains can be found in the extensive Archaeological Area. Great historical value are the Romanesque cathedral of San Romolo, with its characteristic tower-shaped campanile, Palazzo Vescovile, founded in the 11th and rebuilt in the 17th century, and the ancient church ofSanta Maria Primerana, which was built over an earlier Etruscan construction.
Very interesting the ancient Roman Theatre , especially during “Estate Fiesolana” event.
A few kilometres from Florence, among the rolling hills, the tall cypress trees, stretches the territory of the Mugello. Mugello circuit, history, culture, open air activities as golf field, trekking, horse and bycicle walking these are the things the Mugello has to offer.
