Abbazia di Sant'Ilario, Benedictine monastery in Mira, Italy
The Abbey of Sant'Ilario stands between Malcontenta and Gambarare in Dogaletto, positioned strategically between the mainland and the Venetian lagoon along significant waterways.
Founded in 819 by monks from San Servolo under Doge Angelo Partecipazio, the monastery expanded its influence throughout the Brenta river valleys and Tergola canal.
The monastery served as a burial site for notable Venetian figures, including Doges Angelo and Giustiniano Partecipazio, marking its significance in regional leadership.
The original abbey structure no longer exists, but visitors can find its legacy at the church of Malcontenta, which received the dedication in 1919.
A severe earthquake in 1117 caused flooding that altered the region's waterways, with the monastery's scribes documenting these environmental changes.
