Abbey of the Santissima Trinità, Benedictine abbey in Venosa, Italy
The architectural complex includes an old church, monastery buildings, and an unfinished church within the archaeological park of Venosa at 1.5 kilometers northeast.
The monastery received papal recognition in 1059 when Pope Nicholas II transformed it from a cathedral to an abbey and increased its monastic population.
The church entrance displays Romanesque architecture with stone lions flanking the portal, leading to a basilica layout with a central nave and side aisles.
The national monument remains open for visitors as part of the archaeological park, now managed by the Trinitarian Order instead of functioning as a monastery.
The Hauteville Tomb contains the remains of five Norman brothers, including Robert Guiscard, who were gathered into a single monument during the 16th century.
