Piazza della Cisterna, San Gimignano At the heart of the city, Piazza della Cisterna, dating back to 1287, was once a bustling hub for markets, festivals, and tournaments. Today, it still radiates the lively spirit of medieval life, inviting you to pause and imagine the stories that unfolded here centuries ago.
