Another panoramic spot to stop at along Via Vecchia Fiesolana is The Queen’s Bench. It is also known as The English Bench, because of the substantial English-speaking community who visited Fiesole during the 19th century, including Queen Victoria of England<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is said, in fact, that the queen favored this place because she was attracted by the extraordinary panoramic views that she could portray in watercolor in the album that she always kept with her, during her long carriage rides and that, for this very reason, the bench was placed in this vantage point in 1888.<\/p>\n

From the site it is possible to enjoy an extraordinary view of Florence, by virtue of which the area falls within the \u201cbuffer\u201d zone for the protection of the Unesco site.<\/p>\n
