Lucignano is one of Tuscany's best-kept secrets — a perfectly preserved medieval village with an unusual elliptical layout.
The Tree of Love
The Museo Comunale houses the famous "Albero d'Oro" (Tree of Gold), a 14th-century reliquary that couples visit for good luck in love.
The Spiral Streets
Unlike most medieval towns, Lucignano was designed in concentric elliptical rings. Walking from the gates to the central piazza reveals centuries of history.
