When you arrive in San Gimignano walk to the Rocca which is a small fortress dismantled in the 16 century, with a garden ,positioned on a hill.The interesting part is to admire the panorama of the village and the surrounding area .

Lots of olive and fruit trees, quiet apart from a harp player, was beautiful and views almost as good as the 5 euro tower. A must visit.

the Rocca is very small and remote from the center of town,so less visitors would go there.an age-old lookout platform overlooking San Gimignano.

For those who don't want to pay 5EUR to go on top of of the Torre Grossa, The Rocca is the next best thing. It is shorter than the Torre, granted, but it still provides an amazing view into the Tuscan scenery, and it doesn't cost a thing.
