San Gimignano's Timeless Towers and Medieval Heart
Known as the "Town of Fine Towers," San Gimignano preserves 14 of its original 72 medieval skyscrapers. This UNESCO World Heritage site features the 54-meter Torre Grossa, the Romanesque Collegiate Church with its 14th-century frescoes, and the central Piazza del Duomo. The town's architecture showcases a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic styles within its well-preserved circuit of 13th-century walls. Highlights include the 14th-century Rocca di Montestaffoli fortress, the twin Salvucci towers, and the historic Porta San Giovanni gateway, all offering a window into Tuscany’s merchant history.
