A "time travel door" in Tuscany~

A "time travel door" in Tuscany~ ๐ŸšชIf you're interested in mysterious attractions, then the Abbey of San Galgano in Tuscany, Italy is a must-see! ๐ŸšชBuilt in 1218, the abbey is the first Gothic building in Tuscany, Italy. Its unique roofless design and sword in the stone give it a magical and mysterious aura. ๐ŸšชThe abbey was built in honor of the 12th-century saint and knight, San Galgano. San Galgano lived a wild life in his early years, but later became a knight. One day, he met the angel Michael, and after receiving his revelation, San Galgano decided to become a saint and inserted his sword into the rock to show his determination. ๐ŸšชAfter a thousand years, the abbey is full of traces of time, but this does not hide its former glory. Today, the abbey's historical charm is even stronger, and the great design allows light and shadow to present different appearances in every corner, like a time travel door, where you can see the stories of that century. ๐ŸšชThe abbey is located in the Merse Valley in Tuscany, so the surrounding scenery is also quite nice. After visiting the stunning architecture, you can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery along the way. It's truly a must-see attraction! โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” ๐Ÿ“Strada Comunale di S. Galgano, 53012 Chiusdino SI, Italia. ๐Ÿš—Take a direct bus from Siena train station to San Galgano, about 1 hour.
