City of Towers

by BorneoGrrl - last update: Feb 26, 2007

San Gimignano of Tuscany

Tower in San Gimignano
Just before you approach the city, you can already the magnificent towers from a distance. The sight is breathtaking, as if from some medieval scene from long ago

Sadly, I was here for only a few hours because I was on my way back to Florence from Siena. Nevertheless, the short time in San Gimignano has left me with an unforgettable experience. It is truly a medieval city with no modern buildings in sight.

Cons:"You can get lost in the city!"
In A Nutshell:"Medieval city in the modern age"
