    The Rotonda or Hermitage of Montesiepi was built immediately after the death of the saint above the old hut where San Galgano lived the last year of his life.



    The hermitage was built in 1185 by the Bishop of Volterra Ildebrando Pannocchieschi with the imprimatur of Pope Lucius III. Consecrated.



    The small complex consists of the church with a circular plan interrupted only by the small apse, the chapel with the frescoes by Lorenzzetti and the entrance to Pronao.



    The roof consists of a beautiful, hemispherical dome with alternating ribbons.





    The hermitage of Montesiepi is open daily from 9:00 until sunset with free admission.

        A very nice old building. It is a very nice place to visit with not that many tourists.
