Italy

It is said that Italy is practically a "living museum", so it’s quite reasonable that even the smallest towns are concealing great art. San Gimignano... is one of those little treasure chests. Famous for its fascinating Romanesque and Gothic architecture and 14 towers (originally the town had 72 towers!), the town boasts in museums with Italian artworks of the 14th and 15 centuries. If time permits, head for one of San Gimignano's many restaurants as it is a great opportunity to try typical Tuscan home cooking. Heads up – although it’s a relatively small community, it can get quite busy during the peak travel season because it is one of the preferred tourist attractions.

Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey particularly stands out among a dense forest of pines, oaks and cypresses with its red brick facade. This superb art monument... was founded in 1313 by Bernardo Tolomei and officially opened in 1320. The walls of the abbey are adorned by the cycle of frescoes of the Life of Saint Benedict and are considered a masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance.

If you are an admirer of crystal glassware and art and if you would like to soak in some nice medieval atmosphere, you shouldn’t miss... Colle Val d'Elsa. Besides being irresistibly charming with its small streets and lanes, this town also produces 15% of the world’s total crystal grass production. The oldest part of the town is the “colle alta”, from where you can enjoy in the view of the lower part of the city, the Tuscan hills and countryside. But it also has a historical value since Colle had a very turbulent past. Being close to both Florence and Siena, Colle Val d'Elsa was the location of several famous battles during the wars of the Guelphs and Ghibellines as well as a siege by Neapolitan troops.

Sure, Sienna is most famous for the Palio, a horse race that is held twice a year and dates back to the 16th century, but... there are countless reasons to visit Sienna even if you don’t happen to catch the famous race. It is a magical place of history, art, university, and excellent cuisine. When you stroll down its narrow streets full of artisanal shops and delis, you fill like walking through a huge open-air museum. It is a city of amazing monuments that have retained their medieval architecture among which the breathtakingly beautiful Piazza del Campo with its Torre del Mangia and impressive Duomo of Siena are most recognizable. If you are a foodie, you’ll probably want to stay in Sienna for a little longer and your palate will thank you for that!

Monteriggioni
Italy

75 min

Even from afar, Monteriggioni seems like a place where time had never passed. The walls, completely surrounding the town, are still almost in their original... condition and the town buildings today also retain many of their original 13th century architectural features. The circular walls are 570 meters long and feature 14 rectangular towers. Monteriggioni was built in 13th century on top of a low hill dotted with olive trees and vines. It was built by Sienese to protect their front line from the Florentines, their historical rivals. When entering the town through the San Giovanni Gate, visitors immediately find themselves on the main square, Piazza di Roma where the Church of Santa Maria Assunta is also located. It is possible to purchase a combined ticket for exploring the walls and visiting the interactive Armory museum with replicas of medieval and Renaissance arms and armatures.
