What makes Private walking tour in San Gimignano with a local licensed guide a unique experience ?
it is a small walled medieval hill town in Tuscany. 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, which, with its hilltop setting and encircling walls, form “an unforgettable skyline”
It has a triangular shape with a slight natural slope and is connected to the nearby Piazza del Duomo by an open passage. The piazza is surrounded by houses and medieval towers and it is located at the intersection of two main streets: la via Francigena and la via Pisa – Siena. The piazza was used as a market and a stage for festivals and tournaments. Its current layout dates from the thirteenth century. The piazza is named after the underground cistern (Cisterna) built in 1287.
This piazza is to the north of Piazza della Cisterna and is connected by a passage adjacent to an open loggia. To the west, at the top of the square, stands the Collegiate Church, reached by a broad flight of steps. Other important buildings on the square include the Palazzo Comunale and the Palazzo Podesta, the house of the mayor. The Palazzo Podesta is distinguished by its huge arched loggia.
It’s one of the main Churches in San Gimginano. Sant’Agostino is an imposing 13th century building. The interior is a large hall dominated by the seventeen-panel fresco cycle on The Life of St Augustine around the high altar, painted by Benozzo Gozzoli between 1463 and 1467.
