Badia del Buonsollazzo, Cistercian monastery in Borgo San Lorenzo, Italy
The monastery complex includes a single-nave church with lateral chapels, a conventual building, and a cloister on the northern slope of Monte Senario.
Established in 1084, the monastery transferred to Cistercian control in 1320 and underwent reconstruction between 1707 and 1720 under Grand Duke Cosimo III.
The church facade displays rectangular windows with stone frames, a central portal, and the Medici family coat of arms representing their patronage.
The religious complex now operates under private ownership following its transfer from the Camaldolese order, which maintained a training college until 1990.
The monastery walls contain fragments of original cloister columns from the 11th-century structure, preserving elements of its medieval construction.
