Santa Maria del Sagittario abbey, Cistercian monastery in Chiaromonte, Italy
Santa Maria del Sagittario abbey stands at coordinates 40.044444N and 16.156944E in the province of Potenza within the Basilicata region.
The monastery was established in 1152 when Hugh I of Chiaromonte and his daughter Alibreda donated the land during the pontificate of Pope Eugene III.
The monastery maintains connections with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tursi-Lagonegro and represents the architectural traditions of medieval Cistercian buildings.
Current visitors can observe the remaining structures, including the bell tower, octagonal tower, parts of the masonry entrance, and sections of the refectory.
Frederick II of Swabia confirmed the abbey's land properties in 1221 and granted tax privileges to encourage population growth in the surrounding areas.
