The Abbey of San Galgano
On a lonely back road that leads from Siena to Massa Marittima lies one of Tuscany’s best-kept secrets and oldest gothic abbey. The location isn’t on a typical tourist route: in fact, one has to go off the beaten track to find it. I guarantee you though, one look at the Abbazia of San Galgano and you’ll be glad you took the time to come!
