An unforgettable journey through the Middle Ages

San Gimignano and Volterra

Two medieval jewels

San Gimignano with its distinctive towers is a worthy symbol of the Chianti Country and the Val D'Orcia “ruled” by unique flavors and good traditional foods.
A UNESCO World Heritage site since 1990, San Gimignano has the atmosphere of a true fourteenth-century town and is one of the medieval cities that you should see at least once in your lifetime.
Places to see:

  • Torre Rognosa, the oldest tower, is also known as Torre dell’Orologio
  • Torre Grossa is the town’s tallest towering soaring to a height of 54 meters 
  • The Cathedral 
  • The Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall)
  • Piazza della Cisterna 

And, you absolutely must stop at the Centro di documentazione e degustazione del vino e dei prodotti locali Vernaccia di San Gimignano Wine Experience – La Rocca.

 Volterra, the medieval city known for alabaster carving, features the splendid ruins of the Etruscan Acropolis and Roman Amphitheater.

Strolling through the city center you can stop and visit the Museo Etrusco, the  Pinacoteca, the  Museo d’Arte Sacra and  the Ecomuseo dell'Alabastro.

Continuing your walk towards the city’s artistic heart you can admire Piazza San Giovanni with the Cathedral of  Santa Maria Assunta and the Baptistery of San Giovanni, all important examples of medieval architecture. Next to the cathedral is the Palazzo dei Priori on the piazza of the same name. The building, begun in 1208, is the oldest civic building in Tuscany.

We firmly believe it is our collective moral obligation to allow seamless, accessible, and unhindered use, even for those of us with disabilities.

In our ongoing efforts to improve and consistently address accessibility issues, we regularly scan all web pages using accessibility scanners provided by third-party commercial partners to identify and fix any potential accessibility barriers on our site. Despite our efforts to make all our web pages and content fully accessible, some content may not yet have been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be due to not having yet found or implemented the most appropriate technological solution.
