Rising proudly above the medieval skyline of San Gimignano, Torre dei Becci once belonged to a powerful merchant family, reflecting the prestige and influence of this walled city’s elite. Built in the 13th century, it showcases the classic tower-house style typical of the area, with a height that once competed for dominance among neighboring towers. Located near the bustling Piazza della Cisterna, its façade still evokes the elegance and might of the Middle Ages. Tourists can admire it from the outside while exploring the narrow streets and enjoy panoramic views by visiting nearby towers that are open to the public. The tower stands as a reminder of the competition for status that shaped San Gimignano’s unique skyline.
