Fiesole
Description
Today Fiesole is a small, sleepy hill top town. Hard to imagine that this has been the site of continuous human settlement for at least 2,600 years, and that it once out ranked its nearby neighbour Florence as the more important city. The town sits beautifully on it's hillside, looking out across the plain that Florence sits in. Fiesole has historical artifacts that go back before the Roman era to that of the Etruscans, but it is the Romans who have left the largest mark on the town, with the remains of the Roman theatre so well preserved that they still act as a theatre for performances today
