Piazza Bartolomeo Scala Fountain, Colle di Val d'Elsa

Colle di Val d'Elsa is less known than many of the famous neighboring villages. Nevertheless, it has a lot to offer.
For us racing cyclists, it is above all an ideal starting point for tours in all directions, as many of the most beautiful corners are accessible from here. If you want to do some tours from the same place for a few days, you will find a perfect location here.
Colle di Val d'Elsa is known internationally for its crystal processing. Over 90% of the Italian crystal comes from here. In the village there is a crystal museum.
If you are in the lower part of the village and want to go up, you can use a very special lift. A long tunnel leads into the mountain to the elevator, which then leads to the Upper Town. From here you have a nice view of the Elsa Valley.
Below you will find at Piazza Bartolomeo Scala with the especially in the evening very nicely lit fountain some bars and restaurants.
