Novalesa Abbey, Benedictine abbey in Novalesa, Italy.
The monastery complex includes a central courtyard with a 16th-century cloister and a bell tower measuring 22.5 meters in height.
Founded in 726 by Frankish lord Abbo of Provence, the abbey received privileges from kings Pepin the Short and Charlemagne during its early years.
The abbey houses medieval chapels with wall paintings from the 8th to 15th centuries, including notable frescoes of Saint Eldrado and San Nicola di Bari.
The archaeological museum, established in 2009, presents findings from ongoing excavations and restoration work within the abbey complex.
The monastery became the first of its kind built within the Alps, positioned at the edge of human settlement along the Mont Cenis Pass route.
