1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedContinue your journey to the Abbey of Saint Galgano, nestled in the serene valley of the Merse River. Here, the legendary tale of Galgano Guidotti comes alive—a 12th-century knight who transformed into a saint. Once a fierce warrior caught in the chaos of battle, Galgano experienced a profound spiritual awakening. Disillusioned by violence, he ascended the hill of Montesiepi to dedicate himself to God. In a powerful symbol of his devotion, Galgano plunged his sword into a rock, creating a cross for his prayers. This act, blending myth with reality, is immortalized by the sword in the stone, a lasting emblem of his journey. Verified in 2001, the sword dates back to the period, adding a tangible link to this mystical legend. Explore the Abbey and Eremo of Montesiepi, where Saint Galgano’s captivating story unfolds, blending history and myth in perfect harmony.Monteriggioni
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeMonteriggioni is a medieval walled town in Tuscany, renowned for its well-preserved fortress and picturesque setting. Perched on a hilltop, it offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and is famous for its towering walls and crenellated towers, which have remained largely intact since the 13th century. Within the imposing walls of Monteriggioni Castle, a chilling legend unfolds, echoing the treacherous betrayal of Captain Zeti. Once a trusted defender of the castle, Zeti's dark decision altered the course of history. The tale whispers of a fateful moment when, driven by unseen motives, he unlocked the heavy gates, letting the Florentines in and betraying the Senesi’s trust. Today, Captain Zeti is no mere figure of the past—he is a ghost, haunting the castle's corridors. His spectral presence lingers, a reminder of his betrayal, as he roams the very halls where his treachery once echoed.Podere La Marronaia- Le Colonne Biodynamic Winery & Farm
