Strategically located to control important medieval crossways, San Miniato became the seat of the Imperial Vicars, and was host to many important historical personages, such as Federico Barbaresca and Federico II.

Your tour of the town will begin with a leisurely walk and visit to the San Domenico Church, containing interesting frescos and works of Francesco Curradi, a painter devoted to the Dominican order. You will then visit the Piazza della Repubblica, with its Palazzo del Vescovo embellished by Francesco Chimenti.

From there, you reach the Duomo and finally the Torre di Federico II, from where you can enjoy an amazing view.

Your tour concludes with a visit to the Sanctuary of the Santissimo Crocifisso, which houses a wooden crucifix much adored since the fourteenth century.
