L'abbazia di San Galgano (SI) è un'abbazia cistercense, sita ad una trentina di chilometri da Siena, nel comune di Chiusdino.
Il sito è costituito dall'eremo (detto "Rotonda di Montesiepi") e dalla grande abbazia, ora completamente in rovina e ridotta alle sole mura, meta di flusso turistico. La mancanza del tetto - che evidenzia l'articolazione della struttura architettonica - accomuna in questo l'abbazia a quelle di Melrose e di Kelso in Scozia, di Tintern in Inghilterra, di Cashel in Irlanda e di Eldena in Germania.
The Abbey of San Galgano (SI) is a Cistercian abbey, located about thirty kilometers from Siena, in the municipality of Chiusdino.
The site consists of the hermitage (called "circle of Montesiepi") and the great abbey, now completely ruined and reduced to merely walls, a destination for tourists. The lack of a roof - which emphasizes the articulation of the architectural structure - this is common in the abbey to those of Melrose and Kelso in Scotland, Tintern in England, of Cashel in Ireland and Eldena in Germany.
