Continuing throughout my excursions in central Italy, I also went to San Gimignano. Known as the New York City of Tuscany, San Gimignano has some of the tallest and oldest medieval structures around. It was a charming Tuscan town, with some of the best gelato around.

Here are the buildings that are featured in Assassin’s Creed 2 that actually exist:

1) Palazzo Comunale   

This is the plaza where all of these famous buildings are.

2) Torre Rognosa

It is the bell tower on the left with the orange colored top

3) Santa Maria Assunta

This is the church to the right side of the tower

4) Torre del Diavolo

It is the tallest tower to the left of the picture

5) Torre Grossa

It is the tall tower in the center of the picture

6) Torre del Salvucci

The twin towers

These locations of other places in Tuscany do exist but I did not visit them because they are not in San Gimignano:

Villa Salviati – Florence, Italy – but edge of city

Monte Oliveto Maggiore – outside of Siena, Italy

Antico Teatro Romano – Ostia Antica, Italy outside of Rome
