San Pastore, Romanesque abbey in Contigliano, Italy.

The stone walls of San Pastore abbey feature rounded arches, thick walls, and decorative elements characteristic of medieval religious architecture.

Founded in 1218, San Pastore operated under Cistercian monks until 1561, when administration transferred to the Canons Regular of the Lateran Congregation.

The abbey represents the Catholic monastic traditions of central Italy through its architectural design and religious purpose within the Diocese of Rieti.

Visitors can access the abbey grounds through guided tours that explain the historical significance and architectural features of this national heritage site.

The structure maintains its original Romanesque elements, including the robust stone masonry and architectural details from the 13th century construction period.
