    Hiking

    Old quarry where the white stone for the ancient buildings in Fiesole and the statues in Florence was extracted. From the outside it looks like a cave. Not open to the public (fenced).

    Hiking

    The Braschi quarry, which is located inside the park of Monte Ceceri, has a particular conformation because, to extract the pietra serena, it was necessary to dig long tunnels to reach the heart of the mountain. The pietra serena was used in Florence for the construction of numerous historic buildings, including the churches of Brunelleschi.
