The town of San Gimignano
San Gimignano is famous for its many squares and 13 towers, stated as the heritage of humanity by the UNESCO (Organisation United Nations for Education, Science and Culture). Of particular interest is the Cathedral of San Gimignano, that holds the frescos of ‘Taddeo di Bartolo’, ‘Bartolo di Fredi’ and wooden statues made by ‘Jacopo della Quercia’; the town hall of San Gimignano, that holds the civic museum and the art gallery.
Not only San Gimignano Tour
During the tour of the small village of San Gimignano there are also other important stops, among which Monteriggioni and Siena.
Monteriggioni is very small, but of great interest. It is a small fortified village dating back to 1200, surrounded by the old walls, spaced out by 14 towers and 2 doors.
Siena is a city famous for the very unique ‘piazza del Campo’ square, with its characteristic shell shape. Right in this square, each year they hold the famous ‘Palio di Siena’. In the Cathedral of Siena you will find the pulpit of Nicolò Pisano.
