Take in fantastic architecture while staying at a Tuscany villa


 
Travel & Tourism
Should your idea of a dream Tuscany villa holiday involve spending time exploring beautiful, historic buildings, than there may be no better destination to do this than San Gimignano.

Situated in the province of Siena, Tuscany, the medieval town provides you with the chance to take in some magical sights. And as San Gimignano is soaked in architectural heritage, you could find that staying in Italy villas in the region allows you to enjoy some equally fantastic, albeit more modern, accommodation.

When staying in villas in Italy here, you should be sure to visit some of the town's magnificent churches. These are certainly plentiful in supply, so you can be confident that there will be lots of astounding buildings to take in.

And you may want to make the Collegiata your first port of call.

Located in the heart of the town at the Piazza del Duomo, Collegiata is the town's largest church and was formerly a cathedral.

Records show that the first building on the site was constructed in the 10th century. However, work on the structure that you see today did not start until the early 12th century.

And as various repair and refurbishment work has been carried out on the church over the years, you will be able to see how its structure has developed. Step inside the church where you can take in a number of statues, sculptures and frescos - Italian murals painted on ceilings and walls.

If you want to get a closer understanding of San Gimignano's architectural past, why not stop by the Archaeological Museum? Here you can view items dating back to medieval and Roman times, as well as findings from the Etruscan era.

Alternatively, why not visit the Palazzo del Popolo? Known as the People's Palace in English, this building contains a stunning 54-metre high Great Tower. This part of the structure is home to the Civic Museum and the Picture Gallery, which contains works by a variety of artists including Filippino Lippi and Benozzo Gozzoli.

Other mesmerising buildings that you should be sure to take in include the Fortress of Montestaffoli and the 13th century Church of St Augustine.

Another captivating piece of architecture that you may uncover while on a break in the region is your Tuscany villa. By staying here you can relax in a beautiful building, which contains all the modern amenities you may desire.
