Surrounded by tower houses and imposing palaces built in the 13th and 14th centuries, the Plaza de la Citerna is the nerve centre of San Gimignano. It owes its name to the octagonal well in its centre, built by the Gibelins in 1287 and struck with the arms of the Guccio Malavolti podestate. The square, slightly sloping, is connected by an open passage to another characteristic square of the city, Piazza del Duomo. To the southwest, stands the old main entrance gate, called the Becci Arch, surrounded by two towers: Torre dei Becci and Torre dei Cugnanesi.

Piazza della Cisterna à San Gimignano
La Piazza della Cisterna est le "coeur" du village médiéval de San Gimignano. Entourée de superbes palais, elle est typique de cette époque avec son puits qui la caractérise et est à l'origine de son nom.

Magnifique village médiéval au cœur de la Toscane Nous y sommes restés trop peu de temps, mais gros coup de cœur pour ce bel endroit authentique. A goûter absolument le vin local / le Vernaccia

Cette large place de forme irrégulière est l'aboutissement de l'artère commerciale de la ville. L'agencement de son pavement, l'architecture des austères maisons qui l'entourent et le puits en son centre en font un lieux remarquable, mais avec beaucoup de passage.
