Abbey of San Galgano

A roofless abbey church

In brief

A thirteenth-century Cistercian abbey church whose roof has gone and whose walls remain, known for a nave open to the sky and for the Montesiepi chapel on the hill above, where a sword set in stone is displayed.

Good to know

  • There's no shade, so a hat and water help at midday in summer.
