Abbazia di Santa Croce al Chienti, Romanesque abbey in Sant'Elpidio a Mare, Italy.
The Santa Croce al Chienti Abbey features a three-nave basilica structure with a central nave twice the width of the lateral ones.
The abbey's consecration took place on September 14, 887, in the presence of Emperor Charles III, Bishop Theodosio of Fermo, and numerous religious figures.
The abbey holds documents from 1413 written by Francesco di Vanni, commissioned by the municipality, which are now preserved in the State Archives of Rome.
Located between Bivio Cascinare and Casette d'Ete districts, the abbey reopened to visitors in 2010 after extensive restoration work initiated in 2006.
The monastery transformed from a Benedictine establishment to Cistercian control in 1227, before merging with the Fiastrense monastery of Chiaravalle di Fiastra in 1266.
