San Gimignano

The historic town center of San Gimignano was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1990 to protect the ancient buildings and to teach about their immense history. The village is named "the Manhattan of the Middle Ages" because of its majestic towers and is located in Tuscany, on a beautiful hilltop for over 800 years, dating back to the Middle Ages.

Back in those times, families competed to build the tallest towers, all trying to outdo each other. The higher you could build, the more you elevated your status as the wealthiest family in the town.
