San Giusto Abbey, Romanesque abbey in Tuscania, Italy
The San Giusto Abbey exhibits significant Romanesque architectural elements with rounded arches, robust columns, and a medieval tower near the Marta River valley.
Founded in 1101, the abbey received protection from Pope Alexander III in 1178 and maintained its monastic functions until its suppression in 1460.
The restored monastery integrates traditional Cistercian architectural principles with agricultural activities, producing essential oils and organic products from local crops.
Visitors can stay in the converted bed and breakfast facility, participate in organized events, or explore the medieval structures within the abbey complex.
The abbey maintains an active equestrian center where Olympic champion Mauro Checcoli offers specialized training sessions in the surrounding pastures.
