Entrance to Abbazia
Sant’Antimo is an ancient abbey inhabited over the centuries by Benedictine monks, and according to legend, founded by Emperor Carlo Magno. The church, built in the 12th century, is considered one of the masterpieces of medieval architecture. The harmony of its architecture and the refinement of its decorative elements are expressions of ‘Vera Bellezza’: Christ. Art becomes a hymn to the Lord. The walls of Sant’Antimo are not only a marvelous monument but also guardians and witnesses of Benedictine monastic spirituality.
Entrance to the Abbazia is free. Discover the Benedictine Abbazia with the interactive video guide available for rent at the welcome desk located at the church entrance. You can follow the spiritual journey of ancient pilgrims, uncovering the symbolic meaning of the church’s architectural and decorative elements. Additionally, with the “Via della Luce”, you can admire the church nave from the height of the tribunes, be enchanted by the beautiful play of sunlight on capitals and columns, and observe the small “slices” of landscape through the single-light windows of the upper ambulatory.
The schedule may vary due to liturgical activities.
