Campatelli Tower and House at Torre e Casa Campatelli

Campatelli Tower and House is a medieval landmark in San Gimignano, a hilltop town in the Tuscan province of Florence. The structure dates to the 12th century and stands as one of only 14 surviving towers from the original 72 that once defined the San Gimignano skyline. The building later served as the private residence of the Campatelli family, a wealthy local dynasty, and retains much of its domestic character alongside its medieval fabric. Entry is on foot from Via S. Giovanni 15, and the site has no wheelchair access.

Inside, visitors move through the tower and the adjoining house, taking in the layered history of both the medieval construction and the later domestic occupation. An audio and video experience is included with admission, available in Italian, English, Spanish, French, and German, providing context for the architecture and the family who lived here. For anyone exploring Florence attractions and the surrounding Tuscan towns, this is a well-preserved example of the tower-house typology that made San Gimignano one of the most studied medieval townscapes in Italy. Tickets cover full admission to the tower and house, including the multilingual audio and video experience.
