| Abbey of San Galgano, Siena |
As the first Gothic church in Tuscany, this church was built by monks in the 13th century to house the rock into Galgano Giudotti allegedly plunged a sword in 1180, turning it into the symbol of the cross. In 1786, the roof collapsed and, although some restoration work was later carried out, the church is still a hauntingly beautiful, roofless shell surrounded by verdant landscape.
