Take a tour of Tuscan Town of Certaldo in Certaldo, Italy - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Nestled amidst the famously beautiful landscape of Tuscany, Italy is the small town of Certaldo.

The buildings and streets are largely medieval and made of a soft, warm-colored stone.

One of the greatest features of the town is the Palazzo Pretorio, the palace of the past government leaders of Certaldo.

The town also has the heritage of its most famous resident, Giovanni Boccaccio, the medieval writer.

On days when the bright Tuscan sun is shining, the stones radiate their warmth back out to passersby.

Many of the streets of Certaldo look just as they did hundreds of years ago, a testament to the history of the town.
