The city
What to expect from San Gimignano.
San Gimignano is a walled village atop a hill between Florence and Siena, known for the medieval towers that still mark the skyline: about fourteen remain standing. The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The two neighbouring squares, the Piazza della Cisterna and the Piazza del Duomo, contain the Collegiata, covered in frescoes, and the Palazzo Comunale, from which you can climb the Torre Grossa. Around the village, vineyards produce Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
