San Gimignano's Timeless Towers and Medieval Heart

Known as the "Town of Fine Towers," San Gimignano keeps 14 of its medieval tower houses inside a ring of 13th-century walls. This UNESCO World Heritage site centres on two linked squares, Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Cisterna, with the frescoed Collegiate Church, the town hall museums and the 54-metre Torre Grossa. Highlights also include the Sant'Agostino church with its Renaissance frescoes, the Rocca di Montestaffoli viewpoint and the Porta San Giovanni gateway.
