San Gimignano, Italy

Why Walk San Gimignano

San Gimignano's medieval towers, built by rival families competing for status, create one of the most recognizable skylines in Italy. Fourteen of the original 72 towers survive, earning the town its nickname as the Manhattan of the Middle Ages. The UNESCO-listed historic center preserves a remarkably intact medieval townscape of stone streets, Romanesque churches, and frescoed palaces.
