This well-preserved archaeological area testifies to different phases of the ancient history of Fiesole. In fact, you can see an Etruscan temple, a Roman theater, thermal baths and temple, as well as a Lombard necropolis.

From the 7th century BC, a site founded and inhabited by the Etruscans, of which the ruins of a temple and part of the mighty walls remain. Then the Romans settled in the first century BC by building the baths, the amphitheater (well preserved) and a temple. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD. this place lost its luster and its importance and prosperity declined. In fact, the Lombards as barbarians as they were, thought it well to place their tombs in the area😂 In addition to the archaeological area there is the Bandini museum for lovers of sacred art.
