Madonna dello Sterpeto, Benedictine monastery in Barletta, Italy.
The Madonna dello Sterpeto monastery features Gothic and Romanesque architectural elements, with a main church building and surrounding cloisters covering an expansive area.
Founded in 1259, the monastery gained prominence when Benedictine monks established their presence, documented by an inscription found in the old sanctuary's presbytery.
The monastery maintains Italian religious traditions through regular ceremonies, processions, and gatherings that connect local residents with centuries-old Catholic practices.
The monastery opens daily from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM, offering guided tours in Italian that explain its architectural features and historical significance.
In 1732, following an earthquake, the Madonna icon was carried in procession to Barletta, leading to its declaration as the city's protective symbol.
