Review:
San Gimignano is a Medieval-era walled town that has been preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990, known as the “Manhattan of the Middle Ages” due to its high volume of architectural towers, such as the Torre Grossa stone tower.
13th-century stone walls circle the town, which is centered on the beautiful triangular Piazza della Cisterna.
Other historic highlights include the 12th-century Duomo di San Gimignano, considered to be one of Tuscany’s finest churches, and the city’s Town Hall, which houses its Civic Museum and a number of important works by artists such as Pinturicchio, Filippino Lippi, and Benozzo Gozzoli. It is also known for its Vernaccia wine, a golden wine that is frequently paired with bread, vegetable, and seafood dishes.
