San Gimignano is one of the most imposing and best preserved medieval towns of Italy. The thirteen towers that dominate San Gimignano's majestic skyline were built by noble families in the 12th and 13th century, when the town's position, on the main pilgrim route from northern Europe to Rome, brought it great prosperity. The plague of 1348, and the diversion of the pilgrim’s route led to its decline, which, ironically, helped to preserve the town's intact medieval aspect until today.
Siena the red-brown stone of this medieval city encircles Italy's finest main town square, the Piazza del Campo. As old as the square itself are the traditions reverberating off its pavements twice yearly during the Palio delle Contrade. It is Italy's most colorful festival with rehearsals, processions and pageantry leading up to the climactic bare-back horse race around the Piazza.
