The Piazza del Duomo is still defined today by the main buildings that over the centuries have characterized the political and religious life of the city: the Palazzo Comunale, the Palazzo Pretorio, the Cathedral of San Zeno , the Palazzo dei Vescovi, the Baptistery and the spectacular tower bell.

The suggestive Piazza della Sala belongs to the oldest nucleus, a nucleus that includes several sacred buildings (although sometimes deconsecrated), which with their presence testify to the centrality of religion in the history of Pistoia. The ancient center is included in a ring that follows the route of the first circle of walls, walking through these streets you come across unexpected and precious works: in addition to the aforementioned Piazza del Duomo it is worth remembering the Ospedale del Ceppo, decorated from the majestic “Robbiano frieze”, the parish church of Sant'Andrea with the splendid pulpit by Giovanni Pisano, or the Church of the Tau , completely decorated with beautiful medieval frescoes.
The gaze of those who visit Pistoia will then be attracted by the white and black marbles that decorate the exterior of the church of San Giovanni Fuorcivitas , just beyond which you can reach the complex of the church of San Filippo Neri and the Fabroniana Library.

The itinerary continues to the Civic Museums of Pistoia for a concentrate of ancient art inside the Palazzo Comunale, but also for an in-depth study on twentieth century and contemporary art, at Palazzo Fabroni.

But to really discover Pistoia it is necessary to get out of the city center and discover the hills that surround it, to be explored by getting lost in the paths of the Ecomuseo della Montagna Pistoiese : not to be missed is the village of Orsigna and, once here it may be worth making a stop at Molino di Giamba, you get in touch with the most hidden and rural soul of the city.

Cà Gennara b & b is only 30 km from Pistoia, easily reachable along the SS64 Porrettana state road in just 35 minutes.
