Badia di Santa Maria della Gloria

The monastic complex features yellow tuff stone construction with fortified walls and towers along three sides of the structure.

Cardinal Ugolino Conti, who later became Pope Gregory IX, commissioned the abbey's construction between 1226 and 1231 for Florensian monks.

The monastery contained spaces for twelve monks, an abbot, and twenty-four lay brothers, operating independently from the Bishop of Anagni.

The structure stands at Via Vittorio Emanuele 187 in Anagni and underwent restoration work in 2000 and 2004.

English prelates and civil authorities granted benefits to Santa Maria della Gloria to demonstrate devotion to Pope Gregory IX.
