Prato and Pistoia
Description
From the green mountains of the Bisenzio Valley to the large plane surrounded by the gentle hills of Montalbano lies a Province strongly attached to its culture where history, art and nature blend harmoniously.
Do not miss to visit the Dome's square in Pistoia, the Cathedral, the Bell-tower and the Baptistery, in addition to the ancient XIV century walls and the Medicean fortress dedicated to St. Barbara.
