About

About the area

San Gimignano is an icon of the Middle Ages. It is a unique sight, with its tall spires towering above the harmony of the Tuscan countryside. Entering the walls turns into a journey back in time among churches and palaces that speak to the past wealth of this town. In the New Town Hall there are extraordinary frescoes, with a famous depiction of a wedding night and duels of knights in flamboyant armour. From there you can access the top of one of the highest towers - an impressive 54 metres - and enjoy a sensational panorama. On one side the Tuscan hills stretching to the horizon, tinged with saffron yellow; on the other the maze of roofs, squares and alleyways. The cathedral has cycles of splendid paintings by Ghirlandaio and Benozzo Gozzoli, including a Last Judgement that brings Dante's Inferno to mind. Don't miss Sant'Agostino, with a series of works by Renaissance masters, and San Francesco, with a façade of rare elegance in the lower part of the town. But San Gimignano also features restaurants and trattorias where you can enjoy typical local cuisine, from pici to ribollita and exceptional red wines. In the evening, in every season, quiet returns to the narrow streets, with an idyllic atmosphere reminiscent of the poets of the ‘Dolce Stil Novo’ literary movement who were often guests in this unforgettable city.
