Abbazia di San Domenico, Romanesque abbey in Sora, Italy
The Abbazia di San Domenico features three naves separated by massive columns, with semicircular apses and a raised presbytery accessed by stairs.
The abbey was established in 1011 on the site of Marcus Tullius Cicero's birthplace and received papal protection in 1205, declaring it independent from local ecclesiastical authority.
The bronze doors installed in 2009 depict religious scenes that narrate the life of Saint Dominic and important events connected to the monastery.
The abbey contains a crypt accessible through side entrances, where visitors can view religious relics and illustrations of Saint Dominic's life.
French troops looted the abbey during the Napoleonic Wars in 1789, leading to its abandonment until Cistercian monks from Casamari restored it.
