As a young republic; San Gimignano advanced greatly during the Middle Age thanks to its position on the Francigena Way, one of the "international roads" of those times.
The richest families displayed their wealth in the form of magificant buildings with incredible tower-houses.
Most of these buildings still remain today giving San Gimignao the feeling of a medieval Manhattan.
