Abbazia di Santa Maria di Corazzo, Medieval abbey ruins in Carlopoli, Italy.
The stone walls and arches of Santa Maria di Corazzo rise among green fields near the Corace River at 730 meters above sea level.
Founded by Benedictine monks in 1100, the abbey underwent reconstruction by Cistercians in the 12th century and housed the respected monk Gioacchino da Fiore.
The abbey functioned as a self-sufficient community where monks managed agricultural lands, operated mills, and maintained an extensive library of theological manuscripts.
Local volunteers through Progetto Gedeone provide guided tours of the abbey ruins, sharing detailed information about its architecture and historical significance.
The monks engineered water systems by altering the Corace River's course and constructing an aqueduct to support their agricultural and industrial activities.
