This roofless 13th-century abbey and unique domed chapel on the hillside above are associated with the legend of a 12th-century soldier who plunged his sword into a stone to mark the end of his warrior ways.
Ambrogio Lorenzetti frescoes (1344) illustrate the holy vision that triggered the incident (see Miracles and Relics).
