We highly recommend visiting San Gimignano 1300 Museum to see a miniature model of the ancient town, or buying a piece of souvenir to remember the glory towers of this charming town.
San Gimignano 1300 is a special museum and a must-see site known for its impressive ceramic recreation of the medieval town as it existed in 1300. With state of the art lighting and sound, the museum brings to life what hasn't existed for over 700 years. At San Gimignano 1300 you will learn, among other things, why most of the 72 towers collapsed and discover why the Via Francigena was so important to the city's growth.
The Museum is the culmination of the vision of two Italian Artists, Michelangelo and Raffaello Rubino who, together with a team of artisans and historians, have faithfully recreated San Gimignano as it once existed.
