Abbazia di San Benedetto in Vallalta, Romanesque abbey in Albino, Italy.
The San Benedetto abbey features a single nave church with bare stone walls and architectural elements dating from the 12th century.
Following papal approval from Innocent II in 1135, construction of the monastery began, taking approximately one year to complete the initial structure.
The monastery managed five agricultural estates, including Gavazuolo, Casale, Felgoso, Torchio, and Prato Maggiore, cultivating chestnuts, vineyards, and cereals.
The religious complex stands in the Lujo Valley, positioned between the namesake stream and the ridge of Mount Misma.
The church underwent substantial reconstruction in the 19th century when it was elevated to parish status while preserving its original artistic elements.
