Badia of Santi Salvatore e Cirino, Romanesque abbey in Abbadia a Isola, Italy
The stone church features three naves and three apses, with small high bifore windows decorating the partially ruined facade.
Founded in 1001 by noblewoman Ava from Lambardi di Staggia family, the abbey served as a strategic point along the Via Francigena pilgrimage route.
The interior houses a notable fifteenth-century polyptych created by Sienese artist Sano di Pietro, representing regional religious art traditions.
The monastery buildings now function as the Contessa Ava town hostel, offering accommodations for modern travelers following the Via Francigena path.
The abbey received its name from its original location on land completely surrounded by water, which has since been drained.
