Abbey of Morimondo, Gothic abbey in Morimondo, Italy
The monastic complex stands on a slope near the Naviglio di Bereguardo canal, featuring a church with cross vaults and sandstone columns in the cloister.
In 1134, twelve monks from Morimond Abbey in France established this monastery, which experienced significant growth before facing raids during conflicts between Milan and Pavia.
The scriptorium of the abbey maintained an active role in manuscript creation, while the monastery managed agricultural operations across 3,200 hectares of land.
The abbey offers guided tours on weekends with educational programs about monastic life, architectural features, and medieval manuscript production techniques.
The monastery exhibits unusual multi-level construction due to its hillside location, with decorated cells featuring painted elements of daily monastic activities.
