6San Gimignano, Italy
In the heart of Tuscany, San Gimignano is instantly recognizable by its medieval towers rising above the surrounding countryside. Once a symbol of wealth and competition between powerful local families, the towers created a distinctive skyline that remains one of Tuscany’s most memorable sights.
The historic center is filled with narrow stone streets, elegant squares and centuries-old buildings. Piazza della Cisterna and Piazza del Duomo are particularly beautiful, while the town’s elevated position provides wonderful views across the Tuscan landscape.
San Gimignano combines medieval architecture with everything travelers love about Tuscany: food, wine, scenery and a relaxed atmosphere.
