Praglia Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Teolo, Italy

The Praglia Abbey has four cloisters, including a botanical one with red marble columns, a double cloister, a hanging cloister, and a rustic cloister.

Founded in 1080 by the Maltraverso family, the monastery underwent reconstruction from 1469, with the Church of the Assumption completed between 1490 and 1550.

The monumental refectory displays a large Crucifixion by Bartolomeo Montagna and contains a marble pulpit for Scripture readings during meals.

The monastery maintains a specialized laboratory for the restoration of ancient books, manuscripts, and parchments, preserving historical documents for future generations.

The ceiling of the upper hall features 17 canvas paintings by G.B. Zelotti, a late 16th-century artist, integrated into wooden compartments.
