San Gimignano - San Iácopo

Near the Porta San Iácopo, the north town gate, is the little Romanesque Church of San Iácopo, built by the Templars in the 13th century. The facade (lower part brick, upper part travertine) has a Pisan-style doorway with a beautiful rose-window. The interior is aisleless, with groined vaulting. There is a fine fresco of the Crucifixion by Memmo di Filippuccio (13th-14th centuries).
