[European Home Rentals] European Home Rentals » Blog Archive » A Brief Guide to Tuscany: San Gimignano: A very charming town 55km southwest of Florence.  It is surrounded by three rings of walls on a hill (325 metres).  Approaching the town through cypresses and vineyards, you will see its 13 famous towers from the distance.  The town and its towers offer wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding Tuscan countryside.  The best way to see it is on foot as the streets are forbidden to traffic.  The architecture is incredibly varied, with Florentine, Sienise, Lucchese, Pisan and even Arabian styles through out the town.  The town flourished as a crossroads on the routes of Pilgrims and the Templars and the Knights of Malta set up hostels for travelers.  It is also known today for a lovely white wine, Vervacchia. The Palazzo Comunale, the town hall where Dante made his impassioned speech now houses the civic art gallery.
