The Cappella di San Galgano, more commonly known as Rotonda di Montesiepi, is a small and very characteristic church, built in 1985 on the top of the hill where the legendary saint Galgano Guidotto lived until his dead. It houses a rock with a sword embedded inside; the legend says it was put in by Galgano itself, when he began his life as a Hermit.
