Morning landscape at San Gimignano - a photo on Flickriver

            San Gimignano is a small walled medieval hill town in the province of Siena, Tuscany, north-central Italy. Known as the Town of Fine Towers, San Gimignano is famous for its medieval architecture, unique in the preservation of about a dozen of its tower houses.

Within the walls, the well-preserved buildings include notable examples of both Romanesque and Gothic architecture, with outstanding examples of secular buildings as well as churches. The "Historic Centre of San Gimignano" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The town also is known for saffron, the Golden Ham, and its white wine, Vernaccia di San Gimignano, produced from the ancient variety of Vernaccia grape which is grown on the sandstone hillsides of the area.

-----

We spent five nights in total in San Gimignano when traveling through Tuscany - conveniently located in the northern part of the province, it is a beautiful hilltop settlement that is not to be missed when exploring the area, and better to be stayed in for a day or two rather than just visiting for a day trip.
