San Gimignano by © Francesco Salvaggio
A World Heritage Site since 1990, San Gimignano (known also as the “ Medieval Manhattan ”) owes its name to the incredible number of towers that loom up over the town rooftops: 65 of them, no less, when the city was at its height. Thirteen of these magnificent towers survive today, and they still shape a skyline that is without a doubt unique.
