San Giovanni in Fiore Abbey, Medieval abbey in San Giovanni in Fiore, Italy
The San Giovanni in Fiore Abbey displays Romanesque architecture with stone walls, arched windows, and a central courtyard surrounded by monastic buildings.
Joachim of Fiore established this religious complex in 1215, marking a significant development in the Cistercian monastic tradition of southern Italy.
The abbey contains manuscripts and religious texts that document the theological teachings of Joachim of Fiore about Christian eschatology and spiritual interpretations.
Visitors can access guided tours of the abbey grounds, which include the church, library, and surrounding gardens throughout the week.
The monastery served as the primary center for the development of Joachimite prophetic ideas, influencing religious thought across medieval Europe.
