Tourist and Historical Information: Fiesole is a gem of inestimable historical and cultural prestige set on a hill overlooking the city of Florence. Founded by the Etruscans in the 9th century BC, the town was a flourishing and economically dominant center long before the birth of Roman Florentia. The heart of the village unfolds around Piazza Mino da Fiesole, dominated by the 14th-century Cathedral of San Romolo and the Bishop's Palace. The archaeological heritage is among the most important in Italy, preserved inside the Fiesole Archaeological Area which houses the 1st-century BC Roman Theater (still used today for the summer Estate Fiesolana festival), the Roman Baths, and remains of the Etruscan-Roman temple. Climbing from the square toward the ancient acropolis leads to the Monastery of San Francesco, offering one of the world's most famous panoramic viewpoints with 360-degree views over historic Florence and Brunelleschi's Dome. The territory also features Monte Ceceri Park, where Leonardo da Vinci conducted his flight experiments, the 15th-century Villa Le Coste housing the Primo Conti Museum, and the monumental Badia Fiesolana.
