Santa Maria Assunta a Monte Oliveto Minore, Benedictine monastery in San Gimignano, Italy.
The monastery presents a stone facade with a portico supported by columns and contains a single nave church with side chapels.
Founded in 1340, Santa Maria Assunta a Monte Oliveto Minore underwent substantial expansion works in 1458 to create its current architectural layout.
The church interior features a Renaissance fresco of the Crucifixion painted in 1466 by Benozzo Gozzoli's workshop and baroque stucco decorations.
The monastery stands one kilometer from San Gimignano along the Via Francigena, connecting northern Europe with Rome through Tuscany's countryside.
The fifteenth-century cloister displays a three-sided portico with arcades, surrounding a central lawn area near the tomb of Master Antonio Salvi.
