San Gimignano Historic Centre
Highlight • Historical Site
San Gimignano is one of the most visited places in Tuscany (and not only by foreign tourists or from other regions, but also by the Tuscans themselves), yet unfortunately suffers from a mass hit-and-run tourism, for the busloads of groups who arrive in the town, cross it quickly and then leave again. Therefore it is preferable to visit during the low season and out of the weekends.
As for most villages of Middle Ages (when they were particularly careful to emphasize the light, especially inside religious buildings), the most fascinating moments in which to admire San Gimignano are the sunset, when the stone takes the typical reddish hues, and early morning, when a magical bluish mist envelops the silent town and the surrounding countryside.
You can not leave from San Gimignano without having tasted its Vernaccia wine, pecorino cheese or wild boar meat.

San Matteo Gate
Highlight • Historical Site
Due to the characteristic medieval architecture of its historic center it has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO. The site of San Gimignano, despite some nineteenth-twentieth century restorations, is mostly intact in its thirteenth-fourteenth century appearance and is one of the best examples in Europe of urban organization of the municipal age.
Granted by Royal Decree of 29 April 1936, San Gimignano boasts the title of city.
