“a miniature version of the city - hidden gem. Should be on main street”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

This was simply amazing, and FREE?!! yet it is hidden away from the public on a back street side entrance??? The town should wake up and move this attraction to the main street San Giovanni, and give due credit to this attraction. I would happily have paid 5 euros for a tour of this attraction in a much larger facility or space, with some written information on the history of the town. Excellent attraction!! bravo, and Grazie!

“See the city as it was”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 16, 2012

Great, miniature (100:1 scale) recreation of the city as it was during medieval times. There is also a nice gallery with ceramic items that are reasonably priced. One of the artists is named Michelangelo. Really. Very nice guy.

“A Step Back in Time!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012 via mobile

Booked a tour that included here as well as Siena and a winery and actually was not sure what to expect as had not done the research on it.

What a great surprise and was the best part of the tour, if u want to experience a medieval town this is the place and we could have spent the day here actually.

A must visit if in Tuscany.
