San Benedetto in Conversano, Medieval monastery in Conversano, Italy.
The monastery of San Benedetto consists of a church with Romanesque architecture, containing two notable canvas paintings by artist Paolo Finoglio.
Founded in 1267, the monastery transitioned from housing Benedictine monks to becoming a residence for Cistercian nuns who arrived from Greece.
The monastery holds an archaeological museum within its premises, displaying artifacts that represent the religious heritage of the Apulia region.
Visitors can explore sections of the monastery complex during regular opening hours, though certain areas remain under renovation work.
The monastery features a tall multi-colored domed tower that rises higher than the bell tower of the nearby Conversano Cathedral.
