Badia di San Salvatore, Benedictine abbey in Vaiano, Italy.
The stone church features three naves separated by quadrangular pillars, with wooden trusses covering the central and side sections of the interior space.
The Longobard-origin church was part of a powerful monastery built in the 9th-10th century by Benedictine monks from Monte Cassino.
The sacred art museum within the former monastic complex displays artifacts from archaeological excavations conducted since 1992.
The 40-meter bell tower, constructed around 1260, stands adjacent to the main church building and represents Romanesque architecture from the Prato region.
The Renaissance cloister with its double-order structure connects the church to the ancient abbey, forming an integrated architectural ensemble.
