The story

The chapel of San Galgano at Montesiepi is a sacred building located in the hamlet of Montesiepi in Chiusdino, in the province of Siena. It preserves the sword that, according to tradition, Galgano Guidotti thrust into the rock as a sign of renunciation of worldly life. It is a magical place just a few hundred metres from the abbey of San Galgano, and it deserves to be seen.
