Christmas In San Gimignano
The towers in San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy, are being illuminated for the Christmas festivities on December 9, 2023. The small medieval town is currently adorned with Christmas lights and a play of colors that are making its famous towers even more enchanting. San Gimignano, known as the City of the Beautiful Towers, is renowned for its medieval architecture and the preservation of its tower-houses. With its hilltop location and surrounding walls, the town creates an unforgettable skyline. The ''Centro Storico di San Gimignano'' is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is also celebrated for its saffron, Prosciutto d'Oro, pecorino cheese, and the white wine Vernaccia di San Gimignano, which is made from Vernaccia grapes grown in the area.
