Montesiepi Hermitage

Highlight • Religious Site

To see at least as much as the ruins of the church of San Galgano. The chapel is a little off the beaten track and freely accessible. Inside is a simple but beautiful dome and a mosaic ceiling in an adjoining room.

View of the Abbey Over the Fields

Highlight • Viewpoint

Warning! The path is impassable starting about 1 km after the Abbey of San Galgano, unless you have a machete. Francesco confirms April 2025. In particular, the path is impassable (November 2025) since it is forced between the fence of the "San Galgano" hunting reserve and the narrow strip of dense woodland on the banks of the Merse River. We had to turn back!
