Hermitage of Camaldoli, Benedictine hermitage in Poppi, Italy.
The Hermitage of Camaldoli stands at 1,100 meters elevation within the Casentino Forests National Park, surrounded by ancient beech trees and stone walls.
Saint Romuald established the hermitage in 1023 in a clearing called Maldoli Campus, starting with five cells for hermits and a church for communal prayer.
Nine monks maintain the Benedictine traditions through daily prayers, work in the ancient pharmacy, and the preservation of religious manuscripts in the library.
Visitors can explore la foresteria guest quarters, the Church of San Salvatore Travagliato, and the ancient cell of San Romualdo through guided tours.
The Porta Speciosa features black bronze doors decorated with symbols including a skull, goat cranium, and an owl representing monks praying at night.
