Palazzo dei Vicari: built by Ottone I during the XII century. Palazzo Comunale, This 14th century building is still San Miniato's City Hall. Other wonderful jewels are the church and convent of San Franceso and the church of San Dominico.
San Miniato is also a very living town. During summer the itineraries of “La luna è azzurra” present concerts and events almost each night. In September San Miniato becomes the heart fo the area with the long festival dedicated to the delicious truffle which is exported all over the world.
