San Gimignano is a hill town in Tuscany located southwest of Florence. Surrounded by 13th-century walls, the hub of its historic center is Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square lined with medieval houses. In the skyline of medieval towers, the Torre Grossa in stone stands out. The Cathedral of San Gimignano is a 12th century church where it is possible to admire the frescoes by Ghirlandaio in the Chapel of Santa Fina.

Cistern Square

Highlight • Historical Site

San Gimignano is a must-see if you're in the area. A small historical town situated on a hilltop. Very nice streets with many stylish and high-quality shops and restaurants. Very clean and well worth seeing, especially because of its many high turrets and narrow streets. The town has a special charm and is bearable even at high temperatures, as there are many shady alleys and places…

The Balze of Volterra

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Volterra crags, located on the south-western side of the Volterra hill, between the Era and Cecina valleys, constitute a geological phenomenon of considerable interest. These cliffs represent the result of a long erosion process, where an upper layer of sand, more resistant to the action of water than the underlying clays, led to the formation of these characteristic overhangs. In simple terms, the collapse of the sand layer at the base caused it to collapse in "slices," thus creating the typical rock crags.

These formations rise like imposing cliffs that cut through the crumbly soil, giving the impression of hurting the Volterra hills. Over the centuries, the advance of the cliffs has led to the loss of parts of the ancient Etruscan walls, churches, houses and even the largest necropolis of the ancient city. Despite this, the beauty of this landscape of grandiose strength, one of a kind, is an authentic gift of nature.
