San Gimignano, a historical town in Tuscany, sees its origins in 63 B.C. when two young Roman patricians on the run built the castle of Silvia in Val D'Elsa around which the village later developed.
The town experienced its most prosperous period in the Middle Ages, thanks to the fact that it was crossed by the Via Francigena, one of the main communication routes of the time.
Indeed, San Gimignano soon became a point of reference for numerous traders, travellers and pilgrims.
Involved, then, in the struggles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, the town withstood all kinds of adversity, managing to become considerably richer and seeing in 1200 the year of its greatest economic development.
With a historical centre characterised by its medieval architecture, San Gimignano is most famous for the seventy towers built by the richest families of the time, fourteen of which still exist and characterise the town centre, towering over the picturesque panorama of the endless green Tuscan hills dotted with vineyards and olive groves.
A small pearl of the Sienese province, this village, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990, offers, in addition to its history and culture expressed by its monuments, excellent local products such as saffron and Vernaccia di San Gimignano, an excellent local white wine.
