Italy, Tuscany, Siena region, Chiusdino, San Galgano. The Montesiepi Chapel is a quirky little church with an Arthurian story. Near Chiusdino in the province of Siena in central Tuscany, there’s a round church that guards a very peculiar attraction. Inside the Rotonda (Rotunda, a circular building) is a sword firmly wedged inside a rock. Far from being a tourist trick, many believe it to be linked with the Templars. But we know that the man who pulled off the remarkable feat was no other than San Galgano, the hermit Saint.
