Rivalta abbey, Romanesque abbey in Rivalta Scrivia, Italy
The stone abbey features a Latin cross layout with a central apse, square lateral chapels, and three naves divided by massive stone pillars.
The monastery, founded in 1180 by Abbot Fulcus from Lucedio, expanded its influence through land acquisitions and connections with the Cistercian order.
The interior walls display 15th-century frescoes depicting religious figures, including representations of Saint Bernard and Saint Benedict in late-Gothic style.
The religious complex stands near the intersection of ancient Roman roads Via Aemilia Scauri and Via Postumia, providing access from multiple directions.
The chapter house maintains its original Gothic-Cistercian architecture with three-light windows supported by small columns featuring detailed capital ornaments.
