Since 1914 Archaeological Museum conserves Etruscan, Roman and Lombard finds, telling the history of Fiesole. In front of the Museum there is Archaeological Area, with the Roman Theatre (that holds shows and viewers during the Summer), the Etruscan and Roman Temple and the Roman Baths. Everything is sorrounded by the calm of nature, even though it's very close to Florence.

I love to visit this small Roman theater and some even older Etruscan things. There is also a small museum beside it. It usually does not have many tourists around so you can enjoy the quiet.

The small but charming Bandini Museum conserves significant Tuscan medieval and Renassaince art. Inside it you can admire paintings dating from XIII to XV centuries, as well as a small collection of byzantine works and terracottas by Della Robbia. Its silent and calm atmosphere will enchant you!
