Pistoia, Historic commune in Tuscany, Italy

The city center of Pistoia contains numerous churches, cloisters, palaces, and museums surrounding the Cathedral Square, forming a medieval architectural ensemble.

Pistoia emerged from Gallic, Ligurian, and Etruscan settlements before becoming a Roman colony in the 6th century BC along the Via Cassia trade route.

The Cathedral of San Zeno presents multiple architectural renovations since the 5th century and features the silver Altar of St. James with detailed figures.

The city maintains direct railway connections on the Viareggio-Florence line and local bus services operated by Autolinee Toscane for regional transportation.

Pistoia's plant nurseries and flower markets form the foundation of its economy, establishing the city as a central hub for floriculture in Italy.
