Abbazia di San Galgano
Siena, Florence & Countryside
"A roofless Cistercian abbey rising alone in open countryside west of Siena, taking on a dramatic and almost mythical dimension. "
Feel as tiny as an ant when standing in what remains of the giant walls of Abbazia di San Galgano. Stepping inside is the type of moment that makes you gasp, with only the sky staring back down at you. Constructed between 1218 and 1288, it was once home to a group of Cistercian monks. The nearest major town with direct links to the abbey is Chiusdino (approximately 15 minutes away), where you’ll find the San Galgano Museum.
