Abbazia di San Silvestro, Benedictine abbey in Nonantola, Italy.
The Romanesque basilica features three naves with 64 columns in its crypt, while the main portal displays intricate stone carvings from medieval times.
Founded in 752 by Saint Anselm, Duke of Friuli, the monastery received extensive land grants from King Aistulf, becoming a major property owner in northern Italy.
The abbey museum exhibits medieval manuscripts, imperial documents bearing Charlemagne's monogram, and precious religious artifacts from the ancient monastic scriptorium.
The cathedral now functions as the co-cathedral of the Archdiocese of Modena-Nonantola, welcoming visitors to explore its architectural and historical elements daily.
The crypt contains relics of seven saints, including Saint Sylvester and Saint Adrian III, making it a significant religious destination in Emilia-Romagna.
