Things to do in San Gimignano
The medieval hill town of San Gimignano, in the province of Siena, is a fantastic location for exploring cultural, artistic and historic treasures. UNESCO has recognised “The Historic Center of San Gimignano” as a World Heritage Site for its remarkable preservation of artworks and authentic buildings, which date back to the 12th and 14th centuries. Here, you can stroll the old town’s tiny streets among Piazza del Duomo and Palazzo Comunale, admire the historic towers that spike the famous skyline and visit many beautiful churches with outstanding frescoes. Not even in Siena or Florence will you find such a concentration of architectural wonders, considered to be heaven for photographers.
