Photos of SanGimignano

San Gimignano is a medieval town in the province of Siena, Tuscany, central Italy, 48 kilometers southwest of Florence, standing on a 334-meter-high hill. The entire mountain city is surrounded by stones. There is a stone city gate in the east, south and north. There are squares, churches, fortifications and municipal buildings in the city. The ancient city of San Gimignano still retains the works of many outstanding Italian artists and was included in the World Cultural Heritage List in 1990. Walking through the main street in the city, a 400-meter long stone road, looking up is the Potista Palace Tower. Passing through the ancient stone arch, you will suddenly be enlightened. Surrounded by several high towers and stone buildings, there is a small square with an ancient well dug in 1237 in the center, hence the name of the square. Not far from Gujing Square is the Lonoza Twin Towers. Between the city's taller municipal tower and the main church is a miniature main church square. This city of tall towers, famous for its towers, is said to have more than 70 towers in the heyday of the Middle Ages. The towers were a symbol of wealth and power in that era. The ancient city of San Gimignano, on the order of the Catholic Pope, named the town after the saint's name, San Gimignano. This ancient city is favored by many film directors with historical themes. The famous film "Tea with Mussolini" directed by Italian director FRANCOZEFFERELLI is based on San Gimigna. Shot by Noh for the background. Despite the hustle and bustle of 21st century bars and the frenzy of drinkers, San Gimignano still retains the vibe of the medieval city of the Duchy. Travelers who came here to look for the beauty and wonders, on the way back, followed the steps of excitement and exhaustion, and realized a dream of visiting the Middle Ages in Europe.
