Fiesole is a town and comune of the province of Florence in the Italian region of Tuscany. It is very close to Florence but has a distinct character of its own. It is situated in a splendidly panoramic position on the hill overlooking the city. Unlike Florence, Fiesole is of Etruscan origin, and both Etruscan and Roman remains can be found in the extensive Archaeological Area. Also of great historical value are the Romanesque cathedral of San Romo. | See more about Tuscany, Italy and Florence.
