What To Expect

Porta San Giovanni

San Giovanni Gate (Porta San Giovanni) in Rome is one of the grand southern entrances to the city, built in 1574 by architect Giacomo della Porta under Pope Gregory XIII. It replaced an earlier medieval gate along the Aurelian Walls and was named after the nearby Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, the cathedral of Rome. The gate features a simple yet elegant façade with papal coats of arms and Latin inscriptions. While no longer a functional gateway, it stands as a quiet monument to the city's layered history, marking the transition from ancient Rome to the Renaissance.

Remains of the Church of Saint Francis

The Church of San Francesco in San Gimignano is a modest yet atmospheric structure that reflects the town’s medieval devotion and Franciscan presence. Built in the 13th century, it features simple Romanesque lines, a gabled façade, and a tranquil interior typical of Franciscan churches—unadorned, yet spiritually resonant. Though not as richly decorated as other churches in the town, it offers a quiet, reflective space away from the more visited landmarks. Tucked slightly off the main tourist path, it invites a slower, more contemplative encounter with San Gimignano’s religious history.

Torre e Casa Campatelli (Pass By)

Torre e Casa Campatelli is a rare opportunity to step inside one of San Gimignano’s historic medieval towers. Unlike the many towers only visible from the outside, this 12th-century tower-house has been fully restored and opened as a museum. It belonged to the Campatelli family, wealthy landowners who modernized the home in the 19th century. The interior blends original medieval architecture with elegant 18th- and 19th-century furnishings, giving a layered view of life across centuries. A multimedia experience adds context to the town’s history. It's one of the few places where San Gimignano's legendary skyline becomes personal.

Palazzo Comunale, Pinacoteca, Torre Grossa (Pass By)

The Palazzo Comunale and Torre Grossa form the civic heart of San Gimignano. Built in the 13th century, the Palazzo served as the seat of government and now houses the Civic Museum, featuring exquisite frescoes, including scenes of daily life and courtly love. The adjoining Torre Grossa, at 54 meters, is the tallest tower in town and the only one open to the public. Climbing it rewards visitors with panoramic views of the medieval skyline and Tuscan hills. Together, they offer a powerful glimpse into San Gimignano’s political ambition, artistic wealth, and architectural pride.

Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta (Pass By)

The Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta in San Gimignano is a Romanesque gem that hides a breathtaking interior behind its plain stone façade. Built in the 12th century, the cathedral is best known for its vivid fresco cycles covering nearly every wall, including The Last Judgment and Scenes from the Old and New Testaments, painted by artists like Bartolo di Fredi and Taddeo di Bartolo. The nave’s striped arches and richly decorated chapels create a dramatic setting that captures the spiritual and artistic energy of medieval Tuscany. It’s a must-see for lovers of sacred art and architectural harmony.

Torre Salvucci Maggiore Medieval Tower Experience

The Torri dei Salvucci are twin medieval towers in San Gimignano, built by the powerful Salvucci family as a symbol of wealth and rivalry. Originally among the tallest in town, they were later shortened due to a law limiting tower height. Their bold, defensive design reflects the feuding spirit of the era. Today, one tower is open to visitors, offering a climb of 143 steps and panoramic views of the Tuscan hills — a striking reminder of the city’s vertical ambition and noble pride.

Rocca of Montestaffoli

Rocca di Montestaffoli is the ruined fortress that crowns San Gimignano’s highest point.
