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.

I discovered this village thanks to the Tuscany Trail, which at first glance seems like an ordinary village once you reach the main square, but then you discover that there is a higher part with a terrifying climb, but once at the top you will forget all the effort

Beautiful Tuscan Castle town with nice restuarants and shops. On a high ridge, with great views of the valley below

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.

early in the morning when the air at the beginning of March is still nice and crisp, pedalling on these paths fills you with stimuli and approaches you in the right way to the new day

as a morning start to the tour it is ideal

the cycle path is on compact dirt road, very smooth and runs largely alongside the Elsa river

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