Holiday apartment in San Donato Fronzano: Church, Mountains and Museums

San Donato Fronzano combines traces of church history with the surrounding mountains, historic paths and museums in the wider regional area. The focal point is the Chiesa di San Donato in Fronzano. It preserves parts of its Romanesque layout in the façade and interior. A historical reference takes us back to the year 1029: at that time, Bishop Iacopo il Bavaro donated the church to the Abbey of San Bartolomeo in Fiesole. This means that exploring the area begins with a specific building while also reaching far back into history.
