Abbey of Mirasole, Medieval monastery in Opera, Italy

The Abbey of Mirasole features a rectangular layout with cloisters, church buildings, and structures that were originally protected by towers and a moat.

Founded by the Humiliati order in 1201, the monastery changed hands in 1571 when it became property of the Collegio Elvetico in Milan.

The church contains a 15th-century fresco of the Virgin Mary's Assumption, created by an artist from the school of Michelino da Besozzo.

The monastery maintains regular visiting hours and stands as an architectural example of northern Italian religious buildings from the 13th century.

In 2013, Premonstratensian canons established the Priorato San Norberto in the abbey, connecting it with France's Mondaye Abbey.
