    The fountain of the Fairies in Poggibonsi
    The Cassero in Poggibonsi

    Our city, called Poggibonsi, is situated in Val D’Elsa, between Siena and Florence. The Fortress with its Cassero is one of the most important place. It is the area where POGGIO BONIZIO was located. It was destroyed by Florence in 1270. Many of the ruins were found years later and some pieces of the ancient everyday life can be seen today in a fantastic archaelogical park.

There are many important works of art inside the church, made by important artists such as Giovanni Di Bartolo, Giovanni Della Robbia and Memmo di Filippuccio.

    Via Maestra

    The Main Street of Poggibonsi is Repubblica Street, or Via Maestra as the people of Poggibonsi know it. It is our favourite place. We love walking up and down at the weekends and sometimes eating an ice cream, a sandwich or some pizza.

    La Fonte delle Fate

    My favourite place in Poggibonsi is the fountain of the fairies. It’s a magical place. The only fountain saved going back to the Middle Age.
    If you close your eyes, you’ll go back in time!!!
    This ruin is surrounded by a fantastic green park with a pond full of birds
    and turtles.
    When you go to the fountain, you feel like being on an island of relax, where
    you can rediscover the history and the peace of nature.
    There is a statue inside the monument. It’s the Sleepers that represents
    crocodiles and men sleeping such a deep sleep that looks like death.

    YAZILIKAYA

    WHAT IS YAZILIKAYA
    There are two places, paramount from the historical point of view, bearing the same name - Yazılıkaya - in the area of Turkey. Not surprisingly, as in Turkish this word means 'inscribed rock' and thus perfectly reflects the character of all the monuments that were created by carving inscriptions in the rock walls. The monument, which is described here, also has two other names - Midas Kenti (Midas City) and Midas Anıtı (Midas Monument), that distinguish it from the Hittite sanctuary of Yazılıkaya, located in the vicinity of Hattusa, in central Anatolia.

Ataturk, unsatisfied with his answer, gives an order which is unthinkable: AC THE TREE WILL NOT BE cut, BUILDING SHOULD BE LOST. Imkân Tram tracks brought from Istanbul are laid. Scrolls around. This extraordinary and risky business is completed on August 10, 1930, and is saved from the cuttings of the Great Sycamore Tree.

    Poggibonsi is a nice town in the centre of the Valdelsa Valley, in Tuscany, central Italy near Siena and Florence. The place I prefer in my town is Via Maestra, a street in the centre of the town. I usually meet my friends there and we spend our free time all together. There are a lot of shops: clothes shops, shoes shops, pubs, restaurants and two chemists'. There is also “ The Ventaglio”, an excellent ice-cream shop.On Saturday and Sunday afternoon many families bring their children to have a nice walk, or to enjoy their time with friends. At the top of the street there is a square where you can see the Town Hall and a beautiful church. I live near this place.
