San Gimignano

San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany, north-central Italy. Known as the Town of Fine Towers, San Gimignano is famous for its medieval architecture, unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower housesWith its forest of towers spiking the horizon, San Gimignano is one of the most recognisable and iconic destinations in all of Tuscany. In every part of the world there is someone dreaming about this ancient Tuscan hilltown, for to be there is to dive into an image of medieval times. A World Heritage Site since 1990, San Gimignano (known also as the “Medieval Manhattan“) owes its name to the incredible number of towers that loom up over the town rooftops: 65 of them, no less, when the city was at its height.

Thirteen of these magnificent towers survive today, and they still shape a skyline that is without a doubt unique. A visit to San Gimignano doesn’t end by just looking upwards. The Cathedral, completed in 1148, is also a must-see, considered one of Tuscany’s most precious.
