Niche attractions in Florence

This is my third time in Florence, and it’s still bustling with people, still under the bright Tuscan sun. This time, my first stop was the town of Fiesole outside the city, because it has a beautiful ancient Roman theater and an archaeological museum that was once a Roman temple. Next to the archaeological park are the ruins of Roman baths and altars. 😀😀😀 The entire complex sits atop a hill, and you can’t help but marvel at the ancient Romans’ love for building on hilltops with sea views. The theater is small, with a capacity of about 3,000 people, and it still hosts performances from time to time. On the day I visited, a group of women were doing synchronized stretching on their yoga mats, while nearby, children in school uniforms chatted noisily.🤖🤖🤖 The bus winds its way up the mountain road, past grand villas and large estates. It’s like the essence of England lies in its fairy-tale countryside, and perhaps the essence of Tuscany lies behind those towering iron gates in the courtyards.❤️❤️❤️ Climbing to the peak’s lookout point, Florence spreads out below, with the majestic dome of the Florence Cathedral standing out prominently. Tourists in Florence usually go to Piazzale Michelangelo for a distant view, but Fiesole offers a more impactful experience. Plus, it’s just a twenty-minute bus ride away, making it very convenient. I highly recommend a visit! #NicheAttractionsinFlorence #Fiesole #AncientRomanTheater
