San Gimignano, a small fortified town halfway between Florence and Siena, is famous for its architecture and for its beautiful medieval towers that make the city truly unique.
In the most prosperous period, the rich families of San Gimignano came to build 72 towers as a symbol of their well-being and power. Of these today there are 14 that contribute to make the city’s atmosphere even more fascinating.
Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990, San Gimignano is one of the small pearls of the province of Siena and also offers excellent local products such as saffron and white wine called Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
