Sangimignano



This medieval town dates back to 300 BC--to me the fun thing about its history was the reason for the towers which at one time numbered 72 and some were as tall as 230 feet.  It grew to be a competition between families to see who could build the best tower.  Today there are still 14 original towers standing.  Can you say legoland?  What boy/man wouldn't have fun building a tower.

  1. Boys and their toys. Cool that they're still standing though.
