San_galganoThe first place where we will take you is the Abbey of San Galgano, unique in the world for the particularity of not having the roof, is located 40 km from Siena and is one of the most fascinating places you can find in Tuscany.

As for the second, we move in Maremma, near Capalbio, more precisely in Garavicchio at the Tarot Garden. As you enter you will feel catapulted into a magical world, walking in the garden you will meet the statues of the 22 major arcana, works by Niki de Saint Phalle that of this enchanted place had even made his home. The bright colors of the works and nature blend perfectly in this garden of wonders, the statues are very high and in some you can even enter!

devil's bridgeWhat if we told you that in Tuscany there is a bridge built by the devil himself? Obviously this is only a legend but we suggest you go to Borgo a Mozzano to see one of the most beautiful and particular bridges ever made in the world: The Devil’s Bridge. The bridge is about 90 meters long, built on the river Serchio, and humpbacked structure and asymmetrical arches make it unique in the world! It’s regarded as a work of genius of medieval architecture.

Another really impressive place in Tuscany are the Careggine factories, a real ghost town near Lucca, completely submerged by the artificial lake of Vagli, for this reason not always open, but every time the lake is drained and the town re-emerges we assure you that it is a sight to which you must attend at least once in a lifetime! Fabbriche-di-CareggineIt is usually drained every ten years, but the wait is worth the show.

We know that we have intrigued you with these stories, then you only have to come to Tuscany and discover all the mysteries of this beautiful region.
