San Vincenzo al Volturno abbey
San Vincenzo al Volturno abbey, Benedictine abbey in Castel San Vincenzo, Italy
The San Vincenzo al Volturno complex spans both banks of the Volturno River, featuring a 12th-century monastery and archaeological excavations of earlier structures.
Founded in 703 by three Beneventan nobles, the abbey reached its zenith during the Carolingian period before suffering destruction from Saracen attacks in 881.
The Crypt of Epifanius contains ninth-century frescoes depicting religious scenes and saints, representing medieval monastic art in central Italy.
The archaeological site includes guided tours of the ancient basilica remains, the Augustan aqueduct, and the decorated crypt, with advance reservations required.
The monastery contains evidence of early medieval metalworking workshops and manuscript production, revealing technological advances of the period.
