San Galgano Abbey is situated 30km southwest of Siena and it’s famous for its roofless walls 13th century Gothic style abbey church. When we arrived there was a wedding ceremony so we had to wait to get in it.

The abbey was also a location that puts in Andrej Tarkovskij film “Nostalghia” (1983). Some shots from film:
