Approaching San Gimignano, medieval towers rise above green fields and pointy cypresses. Set on a hill, encircled by walls and surrounded by beautiful Tuscan countryside, this is the Manhattan of the Middle Ages.
At one time in its long history, there were over 70 towers in San Gimignano. Today only 14 remain; medieval reminders of the wealth that once prospered in Tuscany’s finest hill town. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the historic centre of San Gimignano is an enthralling place in the heart of Italy.
