Dating back to the 11th century, the duomo of San Romolo has a Romanesque interior and a massive bell tower.
We stopped in at the Duomo in Fiesole twice during our recent stay. It is such a wonderful quiet spiritual place. I think it is about 1,000 years old. The architecture is similar to San Miniato in Florence.
