The 7 Best Churches & Cathedrals in San Gimignano, Tuscany
San Gimignano, known as the "city of beautiful towers," had 72 towers in its heyday. Now 14 remain, and, rising above Tuscany's Elsa Valley, they make the town look like a medieval dreamscape. Take in the fresco-covered Collegiate Church, the Civic Museum and the views from atop 177-foot Torre Grossa. Daytrippers from Florence tend to fill up the streets during the day, so for a more up-close-and-personal look at the town, spend the night.

Definitely one of the highlights of San Gimignano. Painted walls are just extraordinary and you can spend quite a while paying attention to all the details - special mention for the Hell one...

This small church is beautiful with incredible frescos. It is nearby to a small square with quaint restaurants. This is a quieter area of San Gimignano as the main square is very busy with tourists. It is worth the walk to visit this church.
3. Chiesa di San Lorenzo in Ponte

Visit as part of the Biglietto Unico, on the edge of town. Not much visited, shame as the 15th century frescos are fine, especially the last judgement.
