바르베리노 발 델사 최고의 사이클링 경로

산 지미냐노의 산타고스티노 교회는 이 도시에서 두 번째로 큰 교회이며 중세 및 르네상스 미술관으로 여겨집니다. 같은 이름의 광장에 위치하며, 베노초 고촐리가 그린 토스카나 르네상스의 가장 중요한 프레스코 사이클 중 하나를 소장하고 있는 것으로 가장 유명합니다.

산 지미냐노는 시에나 현에 위치한 토스카나의 유명한 중세 마을로, "중세의 맨해튼"이라는 별명을 얻게 한 인상적인 귀족 가문의 탑들로 전 세계적으로 유명합니다. 이곳의 역사적인 중심지는 1990년에 유네스코 세계 문화 유산으로 지정되었습니다.

The setting is a gently rolling countryside: neat rows of vineyards, scattered olive groves, and a few stone farmhouses. Roads wind through the fields, alternating between open vistas and small groves, and in the background, the villages of Montespertoli, Lucardo, and Certaldo can be glimpsed, balancing history and rural life.

Along the road between Montespertoli and Lucardo, you'll find Aliano Castle, a structure that tells the story of the area's medieval history. Originally a fortification, the castle underwent various transformations over the centuries, and in the 20th century, it was renovated into a private residence. Today, it still dominates the surrounding landscape, offering fascinating views and a touch of Tuscan history along the way.

The Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie di Pietracupa is an important sanctuary. It was consecrated in 1596 and completed in 1609. Architecturally, it is Mannerist and shows influences from Giorgio Vasari and Bernardo Buontalenti. It is considered one of the most balanced examples of minor religious architecture in the Tuscan countryside. The church is dedicated to the Madonna of Pietracupa, whose image was painted by Paolo Schiavo in the 15th century. This image is said to have granted many graces to the faithful and was therefore a destination for numerous pilgrims.

A special place with many hidden corners. There is also no shortage of restaurants.
