Historische torens in San Gimignano
San Gimignano Towers
San Gimignano’s UNESCO-listed skyline, once featuring 72 towers, now preserves 14 medieval stone structures dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. These landmarks served as defensive fortifications and status symbols for rival merchant families. This collection includes the 54-meter Torre Grossa, the twin Salvucci towers, and various historic tower houses that define the architecture of Piazza della Cisterna and Piazza del Duomo.
