TOUR  N. 46 - SIENA - SAN  GIMIGNANO

Your English speaking driver will meet you at your hotel or pick up location in Rome with the requested vehicle to begin this daytrip excursion to Siena and San Gimignano.

Siena is the embodiment of a medieval city. Throughout the centuries, the inhabitants preserved their city's Gothic appearance, acquired between the 12th and 15th centuries.

The whole city of Siena, built around the Piazza del Campo, was devised as a work of art that blends into the surrounding landscape.

Siena is certainly the place in Italy where the traditions and the way of life inherited from a prestigious history have been kept alive.

Then we're off to San Gimignano the famous town of the "fine towers". This mediaeval jewel is one of the main tourist attractions in the region. It rises on a one-thousand feet high hill and its towers dominate the Elsa River Valley (Val D'Elsa). Like many other towns in the area, also San Gimignano originates from a small Etruscan village (300-200 BC). It developed then into a town in the 10th century and was named after the Holy Bishop of Modena, St. Gimignano, who saved the village from the barbarians.

The town owes its wealth and importance to the fact that it was on a medieval route (Via Francigena) that linked France with Rome, and was travelled by pilgrims and merchants. Once in San Gimignano you will have all the time you need to see the highlights.

Return to Rome in the late afternoon.
