San Gimignano, City of Fine Towers, 1300

San Gimignano in 1300 stands at the height of its civic rivalry, its ridge crowded with tall stone tower-houses raised by competing families and ringed by stout medieval walls. The walk approaches across saffron fields and vineyards, enters through Porta San Giovanni, threads the main streets and market piazzas, and finishes on the western ramparts beneath the clustered skyline of towers.

14 scenes — 9 streets, squares and views, 5 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of San Gimignano as it stood in 1300 (“San Gimignano”).
