San Gimignano

San Gimignano (Inscribed)

San Gimignano by john booth

The haphazardly placed tower houses seemed to me to be an earthquake hazard. Maybe that is why there are no longer 72 standing. The walls and bastions seemed more structurally sound.

La Rocca was taken over by artists and musicians which provided a satisfying backdrop for my picnic lunch.

The nearest station to San Gimignano is at Poggibonsi, from where there are frequent buses to the Porta San Giovanni.
