Halfway between Florence and Siena it can be seen, almost like a mirage, from a distance.

San Galgano

It is simply breathtaking! It is an ancient Cistercian abbey with a Latin cross plan with three naves, 72 meters long and 21 meters wide, with the walls intact but with no roof. A few steps away, on the Montesiepi hill, there is the sword in the rock stuck by San Galgano Guidotti.

Walking through its streets you will travel back in time between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance (or even into one of the various films/dramas this town has hosted, such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "New Moon" or the more recent "The Medici").
