산 미니아토 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Circular tour with sections of Via Francigena...too much asphalt

The cathedral dates from the 12th century, but its bell tower with machicolations, a defensive tower of the old castle, is older. The cathedral was renovated in the 15th century and has a Pisan-Romanesque facade with some ceramic bowls (13th century); the three portals are 15th century.

On the lower Plaza della Republica stands the Palazzo del Seminario with a concave facade that was decorated at the beginning of the 18th century with frescoes and Latin aphorisms of the Church Fathers, while at the bottom there were medieval shops, some of which have been preserved.

nice restaurant in the middle of Tuscany with very good and inexpensive food 👌

There are a couple of parking spaces outside a substation and an empty house (opposite a house with a very yappy dog). The first mile is on road but, don't give up, you are soon on country tracks and then it's beautiful and remote.

San Miniato is located between Pisa and Florence, on the Via Francigena, and is, among other things, a place of excellence for white truffles. The original nucleus of San Miniato dates back to the 8th century, when a group of Lombards built a church dedicated to the martyr Miniato in the village of San Genesio. The highlight of the village's cultural events is the traditional National White Truffle Market Exhibition which takes place in the main streets and squares of the historic center on the second, third and fourth weekend of November.

Be sure to roll slowly. Has atmosphere! Cappuccino and croissant always work

Along the Via Francigena, Piazza della Repubblica is surrounded by the facade of the Bishop's Seminary dating back to the 16th century.
