San Gimignano, Italy, Nov 12, 2008




Lee and I took off on our own again to revisit San Gimignano, a very famous hill town which we'd been to a few years ago. This time we got to spend more time roaming around. The first pic is the tower at the entrance to the walled city and the others are different views inside the main square. From Wikipedia: San Gimignano was founded as a small village in the 3rd century BC by the Etruscans. Historical records begin in the 10th century, when it adopted the name of the bishop Saint Geminianus, who had defended it from Attila's Huns.
