Certosa di Valmanera, Catholic monastery in Asti, Italy.
The Certosa di Valmanera encompasses multiple buildings across 6000 square meters, featuring three entrances leading to distinct functional areas and a quadrangular cloister.
Founded in 1387, the monastery transitioned from Vallombrosan to Carthusian administration through a legacy from Bartolomeo Garetti in 1391, operating until its closure in 1801.
The church dedicated to Saints Philip and James contains three naves built in gothic style, which previously housed multiple altars and carved wooden choir stalls.
Located in Borgo San Pietro within the communal park of Certosa in the northwest outskirts of Asti, the complex now functions as a museum and tapestry center.
The Arazzeria Scassa manufacturing center operates within the restored monastery, producing tapestries inspired by designs from notable painters.
