Wildrover Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Here's another one to keep us going. Can anyone name this city, less than 20 of its 180 or so towers still standing. The second pic being an artists rendition of this medieval 'Manhattan'. Quote Link to comment

Wildrover Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Alright PDogg, i could give you a clue but that would just give it away i reckon Quote Link to comment
Mod1 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Anyone can get answers right by using Google Images or similar sites. That's cheating. Don't cheat. 1 Quote Link to comment
pdogg Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I think it even starts with an M just like Manhattan. One of the hill towns. Maybe someone else knows. Quote Link to comment

pacman Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Here's another one to keep us going. Can anyone name this city, less than 20 of its 180 or so towers still standing. The second pic being an artists rendition of this medieval 'Manhattan'. I know its in Italy but just can't recall the name of the city offhand. I know it too but the name isn't coming to mind. I damn well should think of it though, I've only been there three times. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh................. just remembered, San Gimignano. I remember looking at the map & noticing Florence, Sienna & San Gimignano made a neat triangle. And I remember there is a Museum of Horror (or some-such name) in SG. I first went in with my father years ago, next with a girl I met up with & later with a couple I was travelling with. I only mention the above to allay suspicion especially as I am sure I spelt the name correctly. The second G always fascinated me & after many trips to Italy I enrolled in the local Dante Alighieri Society to learn Italian. I wish I had kept it up. Quote Link to comment
Wildrover Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Paccers, I am sorry to say that it actually isnt San Gimignano... i know that place also has these medieval towers. This city in the pic is known as the red city Quote Link to comment

This city in the pic is known as the red city WTF! The red city? Oh well, back to the drawing board. And I remember there is a Museum of Horror (or some-such name) in SG. I think it's a Museum of Torture, not horror. Full of medieval instruments that were used on miscreants back in the dark ages. Worth a look IMO. Quote Link to comment

The colour also refers to its political leanings Quote Link to comment
