Arnolfo di Cambio Square, Colle di Val d'Elsa

Highlight • Settlement

Colle Val d’Elsa, also known as the "crystal capital", is a picturesque town not far from San Gimignano and Monteriggioni. Its ancient part, called Colle Alta, offers particularly suggestive views.

Lying along the route of the Via Francigena, the city has been animated by pilgrims and travelers for centuries, who stopped to rest at the foot of its characteristic tower-houses.
