Official Tourism Board for the valley of Mugello welcomes you in Mugello, Tuscany, where you can spend your holidays next to Florence.

The Archaeological Museum

The Museum offers a outstanding itinerary: it embraces a vast period with artifacts that date from as far back as the Prehistoric era and move through history until the Renaissance. The artifacts from  recent excavations in the area of “il Piano”, at the centre of the Bilancino reservoir, pottery and remains from the ceramic site in “Monti”, brought to light at the side of the Fortezza di San Martino in San Piero a Sieve, or even jewellery and hand crafted stones of Etruscan origin from the excavation site in Colla a Vicchio di Mugello. Another fascinating pavilion is dedicated to rock stele. The museum also includes an educational laboratory.

THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RUINS OF FRASCOLE

Frascole – Dicomano

The numerous excavation sites have allowed us to discover, along with the foundations of the ancient Romanesque Church of San Martino al Poggio, the impressive quadrangular perimeter of an Etruscan building, which was probably a fort of some kind used to control the road from Casentino. It may be presumed that the building was a fortified residence belonging to a great aristocratic family from the area, or maybe a temple. The most interesting remain consists in a Fiesole style funerary stele from the 6th century BC.
