San Gimignano is an Italian hill town in Tuscany, southwest of Florence. Encircled by 13th-century walls, it has a skyline of medieval towers. The family rivalries and conflicts within San Gimignano lasted for two centuries, which resulted in competing families building tower houses of increasingly greater heights. At one time, there were 72 tower houses some 70 meters tall.
