San Gimignano's architectural splendor dates mainly from the 13th and 14th centuries. Famed for its towers visible for miles from the surrounding countryside, its later history is often ignored by the steady stream of visitors who have been coming to experience its Medieval aura since at least the 18th century. In fact, the town's picturesque stone shell contains an important group of monuments dating from the Renaissance period and beyond, some of which rivaled the achievements of Florence's well-known patrons of the arts during the 15th and 16th centuries.
