Guided Tour to the Charcoal Alley

What would a medieval city be without its “secret passages”? With this tour you will have the opportunity to visit a little known route, which will allow you to enjoy a wonderful view from another angulation of San Miniato: the Charcoal Alley. Our guided tour will start by taking a walk in these beautiful alleys brought to light by the great collaborative will of the “Moti Carbonari” association and the citizens of San Miniato.

After our walk we’ll visit the beautiful Church of the Holy Crucifix, and Piazza del Prato del Duomo, the oldest part of the city which includes many historic buildings.
We’ll reach the highest part of San Miniato where you’ll have the opportunity to rest for a while at the shadow of the majestic Tower of Frederick II and enjoy a beautiful 360-degree panoramic view of the entire surrounding valley!

Once back in the historical center, we’ll pass in front of the beautiful Episcopal Seminary building and our guided tour will end in Piazza del Popolo where we could visit the Church of San Domenico with a very particular fresco inside.
