Massa Marittima and San Galgano with the Sword in the Stone
Pick-up from your accommodation.
Enjoy a walking tour of Massa Marittima, a city of art nestled among the Colline Metallifere (the "metal-producing hills") and surrounded by the countryside of the Maremma region, a place that boasts a wealth of historical, environmental, and architectural treasures passed down from a prosperous past.
Have lunch in a typical Tuscan restaurant.
Continue with a walking tour of San Galgano. The monumental complex of San Galgano lies about 30 miles west of Siena, on the border with the province of Grosseto, between Monticiano and Chiusdino.
Witness the absolutely charming spectacle of the sword in the stone of San Galgano, with its inevitable allure recalling the legends of the Breton Cycle, King Arthur, and the Knights of the Round Table. It is well worth the steep climb to the hermitage of Montesiepi.
Behold this place, which seems out of time, where two roads of great historical importance once passed: La Massetana, connecting Siena with the sea through Massa Marittima and the Colline Metallifere, and the ancient Strada Maremmana, linking the heart of Tuscany with Grosseto.
