Abbazia di San Galgano

What travelers say:

The San Galgano monastery near Siena is a great harvest for this trip to Italy. The beautiful monastery that is very much a film, and most importantly, there are few people. According to historical records, San Galgano is the first Gothic church in Tusnaca and is now deserted. Built in 1220, it took 60 years to complete. One of the major points of the monastery is the church itself without a roof. Although abandoned, the main body is still intact. There are many similar roofless monasteries in Britain, but last time in England there was no plan for the trip, this time it was finally done. It is said that the famous medieval warrior San Galgano is buried next to it, and there is a legendary stone sword in the monastery. San Galgano inserted his sword into the stone, not knowing if it could save the world? In fact, Tuscany has countless monasteries, still intact, but mostly abandoned and become museums. In a number of medieval monasteries, San Galgano has the highest value. The fame is so small that there are few tourists here in a day, one person collects a few euros of tickets, and the tickets received do not know whether the renovation project can be maintained. Many Italian monuments are because of years of poor management, lack of people, and gradually forgotten by the world, so that they finally abandoned.
