New Norcia, Benedictine monastic town in Western Australia, Australia
New Norcia extends along the Moore River banks, featuring Spanish-influenced architecture with numerous religious buildings and educational institutions throughout its grounds.
Spanish monks Giuseppe Serra and Rosendo Salvado established this religious settlement in 1848 to create a self-sufficient monastic community and work with Yued Aboriginal people.
The New Norcia Museum and Art Gallery displays Christian artifacts, European religious art pieces, and Aboriginal cultural items within former St Joseph's school buildings.
The town sits 132 kilometers north of Perth near the Great Northern Highway, offering guided tours, accommodation options, and access to the Heritage Trail.
The New Norcia Station operates as a ground station for the European Space Agency, positioned 8 kilometers south of this monastic settlement.
