Just north of Florence, Fiesole is a lovely little town set in the hills at about 346 meters up, Fiesole boasts a spectacular view of the city of Florence and one can admire its history through remnants such as the Etruscan walls, a Roman amphitheater and Roman baths, built by Augustus and later amplified by Hadrian. During the summer the amphitheatre, built at the beginning of the imperial period and later remodelled by Septemius and Claudius Severus, hosts the Estate Fiesolana, a music event staged in a very unique setting. Leaving Fiesole, and heading back down the hill to Florence, you can admire other lovely landscapes like the hamlet of San Domenico or the old road to Fiesole, the Vecchia Via Fiesolana, where you can see a tabernacle with the Virgin Mary and Saints, The Villa Medici, built by Michelozzo is also found along this road.
