If you only make it to one town, it should be the medieval hill town of San Gimignano encircled by 13th-century walls. A law passed in the 13th century prohibited the demolition of old buildings and therefore preserved this medieval town against radical changes. Sam Gimignano is known as the town of towers as once, 72 huge towers scattered the town, one built by each family to symbolise their wealth.

In the 1950s, the people living here were moved out of squalor to the \u2018new Matera\u2019. This allowed the neighbourhood to be renovated into the pockets of restaurants, hotels and shops now situated inside these ancient cave dwellings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Year of UNESCO inscription: <strong>1993<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best customisable Italy tour to explore Matera: <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/trip-gallery\/11-day-rome-amalfi-coast-fasano-and-lecce-1792001062\">11-Day Rome, Amalfi Coast, Fasano &amp; Lecce<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509035681059{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509350069266{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;post-cta&#8221;]<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Want to Plan Your Own Customisable Italy Tour?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With thousands of years of history, outstanding archaeological sites and stunning architecture on offer, Italy UNESCO tours please everyone from the history buffs to the bucket-list tickers!

Having lived in Southeast Asia between Vietnam and Bali for three years, I'm now keeping toasty with a cuppa in a little English town planning future adventures for which I have constant inspiration. Offline, there's nothing I enjoy more than long cycle rides, fueling the foodie in me and seeking out new spots - preferably all at the same time. Find me on LinkedIn or Instagram and keep an eye out for travel inspiration here!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/gracehomer1\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/author\/grace\/"}]}},"yoast_meta":{"yoast_wpseo_title":"","yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"","yoast_wpseo_canonical":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2329"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2329"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2329\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9079,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2329\/revisions\/9079"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
