San Gimignano, a small lovely hill town in Siena, Italy, is famous for its medieval architecture, specifically the tall towers, which can be seen from several kilometers outside the town. Used for centuries to defend against raiders, the town remains enclosed by its famous still-intact medieval walls. The raiders have since been replaced by tourists flocking to see some of the few towers remaining in Italy. From the top of a hill in San Gimignano, a 360 degree view of the surrounding valleys can be enjoyed. In addition to the architecture, white wines are this region's specialty. Well known wines such Vernaccia di San Gimignano, are prepared here in traditional vineyards. Vernaccia vineyards enclose the town, and there are several wineries just minutes from the historic town center. Discovering San Gimignano means to discover Tuscan medieval history while enjoying delicious food along with magical landscapes of cypress trees, vineyards and olive groves.
There is a village named Monteriggioni in San Gimignano, a beautifully preserved fortified medieval village. Its wall crosses a distance of five hundred meters and is over twenty meters high. San Gimignano is a peaceful small area now; traffic free and ideal to visit with friends and family. San Gimignano is close to Chianti, in between Siena and Florence.
