Abbazia benedettina del Santissimo Salvatore

The abbey features a church, a former monastery, and an oratory, with its stone walls reflecting traditional construction methods of medieval religious buildings.

Founded between 774 and 787 CE by Arechi II, the Lombard Duke of Benevento, the abbey was rebuilt after Saracen attacks in its current location.

The Antiquarium of Telesia, housed within the church, displays archaeological artifacts discovered during excavations of the nearby Roman city.

Located on Via Bagni in San Salvatore Telesino, the abbey opens its doors to visitors interested in exploring its architectural and historical elements.

The abbey once hosted Saint Anselm and housed Alexander of Telese, who documented the deeds of King Roger II of Sicily.
