San Gimignano sits on top of a hill rising 334m above sea level which makes it visible from great distance. Its towers made it even more so! Throughout history, this unassuming town has been famous as the town with a hundred towers. In the 13th century, the town counted as many as seventy-two towers within its borders. Thirteen of those towers still stand today.
Why the obsession with towers? Well, at the time, every rich family would build one to show of its economic power. In Middle Ages, towers were symbols of wealth and power because the construction process was not simple or cheap. Most of the materials needed to be dug up and imported. Naturally, only the richest families in town could afford to have one. In these old towers, the rooms were very narrow (usually 1x2m), there were only a few small openings and the walls were almost two meters thick.
