Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region of Italy, but Fiesole is the heart and soul of Tuscany. Perched at a height of 1000 feet on the Tuscan Hills towards the northeast of Florence just 8 Km away, Fiesole offers magnificent views of the Florence town below. The smattering of grandiose villas amidst olive groves is reminiscent of Renaissance architecture. Fiesole\u2019s cultural and linguistic footprint is synonymous with \u2018a nation within a nation\u2019 syndrome.
\nUp to the 12th century, Fiesole was an important Etruscan town made secure by its location on the hills. After Florence was promoted in the plains, Fiesole lost its importance but became a retreat for people to escape from the hustle and bustle of Florence<\/span>.
\nThere are several impeccable sights to behold in Fiesole that include
\n\u2022 Remains of Etruscan walls
\n\u2022 Roman theater and baths
\n\u2022 The Monastery of San Francesco
\n\u2022 Episcopal Seminary of Fiesole
\n\u2022 Site arch\u00e9ologique de Fiesole
\n\u2022 Museum Bandini
\n\u2022 Museo Civico Archeologico<\/p>\n

\nFiesole offers great opportunities to enjoy peace and quiet amidst its history dating back to the 7th century BC. The town is full of interesting places to spend time in with small parks packed with shady trees. The stunning view of Florence from a height of 1000 feet is worth experiencing.
\nFiesole is a great place for biking and trekking. You can see the best of Fiesole such as the ancient Cathedral of St. Romulus, the Roman Theater and baths and the Etruscans walls while biking or trekking. You will have plenty of time to take in the deep sense of history Fiesole offers.
\nPerhaps, the biggest accolade for Fiesole comes from Georgetown University and Harvard University which have set up Italian Renaissance Study Centers here. Even Frank Lloyd Wright, the famed American architect, spent time in Fiesole and lent it an element of world renown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
