Unfinished abbey, place of tourist and historical interest
It is the roofless skeleton of a 13th century Gothic abbey in the countryside

The Cistercian Abbey of San Galgano is one of Tuscany's most beautiful sights. This majestic 13th-century church, missing its roof, is a true icon of the region, nestled in a magnificent natural setting filled with all the stereotypes for which Tuscany is famous worldwide: rolling hills, vineyards, and rows of cypress trees.
A truly unusual silhouette rises from this panorama. Only the walls and the apse remain of the old church, a silhouette as ghostly as it is fascinating, which is precisely why, despite its rather isolated location, it attracts thousands of tourists every year.
As if this weren't enough to make you consider visiting, the Abbey of San Galgano is also close to the hermitage of Montesiepi, reachable on foot via a path of no more than 15 minutes. This important place of worship houses the sword in the stone, one of the miracles of San Galgano, who stuck it into the stone, where it has remained for 800 years.
