Tour Itinerary
North west of Siena, on the hills of Val d'Elsa, stands the medieval town of San Gimignano.
San Gimignano, defined as the town "with a hundred towers", owing to the presence of these impressive buildings symbolising power and wealth, till the thirteenth century counted seventy-two towers, fourteen of them are still standing today.
Due to the development of trade on the Via Francigena, crossed by thousands of pilgrims in the Middle Ages on their way to Rome, San Gimignano underwent an economic and cultural revival arising from the recovery of its agricultural and artisan origins.
