Questa è la storia di una delle perle della Toscana.
L'Abbazia di San Galgano (source) era un monastero cistercense fondato nella valle del fiume Merse, tra i comuni di Chiusdino e Monticiano, in provincia di Siena, in Toscana. Le mura prive di tetto della chiesa abbaziale gotica del XIII secolo sopravvivono ancora oggi.
Nelle vicinanze si trova l'Eremo o Rotonda di Montesiepi, costruito nel 1185.
La costruzione dell'abbazia iniziò intorno al 1220 e fu completata circa sei decenni dopo. Meno di un secolo dopo, 1363 John Hockuard e i suoi uomini saccheggiarono il monastero.
L'abbazia rimase povera per quasi quattro secoli e continuò a cadere in rovina. Nel (ABCD) la torre abbaziale crollò, portando con sé il tetto della chiesa.
La Cappella della Rotonda fu restaurata nel 1924 e ha mantenuto la sua caratteristica forma medievale, simile ai precedenti mausolei dell'antica Roma.

This is the story of one of the pearls of Tuscany.
The Abbey of San Galgano (source) was a Cistercian monastery founded in the valley of the Merse River between the towns of Chiusdino and Monticiano in the province of Siena, Tuscany, Italy. The roofless walls of the Gothic 13th-century abbey church still survive today.
Near the abbey is the Eremo or Rotonda di Montesiepi chapel, built at 1185.
Construction of the abbey began around 1220 and was completed about six decades later. Less than a century later, at 1363 John Hawkwood and his men plundered the monastery.
The abbey remained impoverished for almost four centuries and continued to fall into disrepair. In (ABCD) the abbey tower collapsed, taking the church's roof with it.
The Rotunda Chapel was restored in 1924 and has retained its characteristic medieval form, similar to the earlier mausoleums of Ancient Rome.

Šis ir stāsts par vienu no Toskānas pērlēm.
San Galgano abatija (avots) bija cisterciešu klosteris, kas tika dibināts Merzes upes ielejā starp Kjusdino un Montičiāno pilsētām Sjēnas provincē, Toskānā, Itālijā. Gotiskās 13. gadsimta abatijas baznīcas bezjumta sienas joprojām ir saglabājušās līdz mūsdienām.
Netālu no abatijas atrodas Eremo jeb Rotonda di Montesiepi kapela, celta 1185.
Abatijas celtniecība sākās ap 1220. gadu un tika pabeigta aptuveni sešas desmitgades vēlāk. Nepilnu gadsimtu vēlāk, 1363. gadā Džons Hokvuds un viņa vīri izlaupīja klosteri.
Abatija gandrīz četrus gadsimtus palika nabadzīga un turpināja nīkuļot. (ABCD) gadā abatijas tornis sabruka, līdzi paņemot arī baznīcas jumtu.
Rotondas kapela tika restaurēta 1924. gadā un ir saglabājusi savu raksturīgo viduslaiku formu, kas līdzīga agrākajiem Senās Romas mauzolejiem.
