I thought it was only a fairy tale...

 

At least one ‘Sword in the Stone’ exists, and it’s in Italy. 

The Abbey of Saint Galgano was built around it. 

The Abbey of Saint Galgano was a Cistercian Monastery founded in the valley of the river Merse between the towns of Chiusdino and Monticiano, in the province of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy.
I doubt it's legit, but who cares?
