Lucignano — Borgo a Forma di Labirinto

Tuscany

Lucignano's streets follow four concentric elliptical rings around a central church, an unusual and deliberate medieval town plan that makes the whole layout feel like walking through a maze from above, even though each individual street is flat and easy. The town also holds an elaborate golden reliquary tree, the "Albero della Vita".
