Abbazia della Santissima Trinità di Monte Sacro
Abbazia della Santissima Trinità di Monte Sacro, Benedictine abbey in Mattinata, Italy.
The abbey stands on Monte Sacro with remnants of three naves, a bell tower, dormitory cells, baptistery, refectory, kitchen, cisterns, cloister, and watchtower.
Built around the year 1000, the monastery received its first papal recognition in 1058 through a bull issued by Pope Stephen IX.
During medieval times, under Abbot Gregory of Montesacro, the abbey maintained a substantial library that made it a primary cultural center in Puglia.
The narthex contains preserved columns with acanthus leaf capitals and frescoes depicting Madonna with Child and two Benedictine saints.
The structure features three eagles with spread wings holding snakes, carved on a semi-column capital in the narthex section.
