The unusual feature of the Abbey of San Galgano is the lack of a roof. You see it from afar and it is spectacular, then you arrive and start playing .. on the shreds of walls that surround it, on the lawn it overlooks, around pillars and colonnades where you can hide.
From the Abbey of San Galgano, a small road climbs to the Hermitage of Montesiepi and here, set in a rock, the famous sword, not that of the character of Semola, future King Arthur, but that of Galgano.

The path begins in an urbanized world of houses, streets, roundabouts and sheds: as in the wonderful Alice village, you go down next to an old mill and you come out into an unexpected world, made of turquoise water flowing abundantly between trees and rocks riot of nature, and the world of men is gone, no longer visible nor audible up there beyond the trees and hills.
For those who want a dip in extraordinarily crystalline, safe and fresh waters, we recommend bathing in the nearby Le Vene.
