San Gimignano

San Gimignano
"We made a trip to the noble high and turreted land of the beautiful Sangimignan [..] and it has several very tall towers from the ground, and a bell that is perhaps a hundred arms"
Michelangelo Buonarroti

San Gimignano, one of the most beautiful villages in Tuscany.


San Gimignano, a small fortified city halfway between Florence and Siena, is famous for its architecture and for its beautiful medieval towers that make the city profile truly unique.


In the most prosperous period, the wealthy families of San Gimignano came to build 72 towers as a symbol of their well-being and power. Of these, 14 remain today which contribute to making the town atmosphere even more fascinating.
