San Galgano + the sword in stone

Two sites, fifteen minutes apart. The Gothic abbey of San Galgano is roofless — its walls and arches stand open to the sky, with grass growing where the floor used to be. The Eremo di Montesiepi above it houses a sword embedded in stone — the actual Arthurian-legend version (sort of), placed there by the 12th-century knight-turned-hermit Galgano Guidotti. Mythic, raw, and almost always quiet. Detour territory between Florence and the coast.
