The nearest to a duomo (cathedral) in this small city. Beautiful and contains a splendid series of frescoes on Old and New Testament subjects.

The Museo Civico (civic painting gallery/museum) in the Palazzo Pubblico is small but has beautiful art inside. Includes Torre Grossa, which is the tallest tower in the city at 60 m (200 feet). You can climb the tower and get a good view of the city.
Literally, a big rock, but a ruined fortress in actuality. A panorama of the Tuscan countryside can be seen from it.
The visit to the museum is an ideal opportunity to learn about the architectural, social, and historical aspects of the Middle Ages in Tuscany. The museum has a massive reconstruction of the city of San Gimignano dated between the 13th and 14th century. Audioguides available.
The church of Sant'Agostino in the northeastern part of the city contains a set of great frescoes on the life of St. Augustine by Benozzo Gozzoli and friendly, English-speaking friars to tell you about the church.
A gate at the southern end of the town's 13th-century walls.
