Monastero di San Daniele in Monte, Benedictine monastery in Abano Terme, Italy
Description
Monastero di San Daniele in Monte is a Benedictine monastery situated on a hilltop in Abano Terme with a church and an internal garden. The property is surrounded by a forest path that leads to the top of the hill.
History
The monastery was founded between 1076 and 1078 by the Montagnon family following the discovery of Saint Daniel's relics in the Basilica of Santa Giustina. After World War II it returned to its original religious purpose after serving as a private residence for some time.
Culture
The Benedictine nuns here maintain traditional crafts: they grow vegetables, produce honey, and bake bread following the ora et labora principle. Daily life in the monastery centers on these practical tasks and prayer.
Practical
The monastery is located at Via San Daniele 50 in Abano Terme and can be reached by phone at +39 049 8669149. The location sits on a hillside, so visitors should prepare for some walking and elevation changes.
