San Gimignano rises on a hill dominating the Elsa Valley and it's on the Via Fracigena, the tradingand pilgrim's route that crossed Italy. San Gimignano is famous for its 12th and 13th century
towers and for its Vernaccia (white wine).

After the visit to San Gimingano, we will go on to Siena. Draped on its three hills, Siena is a very beautiful city to visit. A medieval ensemble of palaces and towers built in warm brown, Siena-coloured bricks. Its soaring skyline is its pride, dominated by the gothic cathedral (duomo), the needle-like tower of the Torre del Mangia and the shell shaped Piazza del Campo. Siena's Duomo (1136 - 1382) is one of the most spectacular in Italy and one of the few to have been built south of the Alps in full gothic style. In 1339, the Sienese decided to build a new nave to the south with the aim of making the biggest church in Christendom. This plan came to nothing when plague hit the city, killing off a lot of the population. The uncompleted nave now contains a museum of Gothic sculpture. In Piazza del Campo on 2nd July and 16th August the Palio takes place. That is a bare back horse race and was first
recorded in 1283, but may have had its origins in Roman military training.
