L'abbazia di San Galgano 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, di Kelso e di Jedburg in Scozia, di Tintern in Galles, di Cashel in Irlanda, di Eldena in Germania, di Beauport a Paimpol (Bretagna) e del Convento do Carmo a Lisbona. In Italia, un paragone, almeno estetico, può compiersi con il Complesso della Santissima Trinità detta Incompiuta di Venosa (Potenza), che, però non cadde in rovina: i lavori di edificazione non vennero mai completati. Un'altra chiesa è il Duomo di Brendola detta anch'essa incompiuta, edificata nella prima metà del Novecento, si trova a Brendola, in provincia di Vicenza.

The original shot of a subject very well known. I love the contrast between the walls and the sky. Curious detail of birds in flight.

Nice picture!

I could not not put a "like".. Since I have similar in my gallery.. San Galgano always reserves suggestive shots.
A greeting
