San Gimignano is famous for the “hundred towers” built in the middle ages by the most influential families to show-off their own power, today only 14 of the 70 built are still kept.

The town was built along the Via Francigena, on an important cross road between Siena, Florence and Pisa and for centuries has been rich and powerful.

The traditional products, since ancient times, are ceramics, the Vernaccia wine (the only top quality white wine produced in Tuscany) and saffron.
