Sant'Anna in Camprena, Renaissance monastery in Pienza, Italy
The monastery stands at the end of a cypress-lined avenue, featuring ancient stone walls and a traditional bell tower against the Tuscan hills.
Founded in 1324 by Bernardo Tolomei, the monastery served as a hermitage for Benedictine monks of the Olivetan order throughout the medieval period.
The refectory contains frescoes painted by Antonio Bazzi in 1503, representing religious scenes that demonstrate early Renaissance artistic techniques.
The monastery functions as an agriturismo, providing accommodation in former monk cells and serving traditional Tuscan meals in its restaurant.
The monastery gained international recognition as a filming location for multiple scenes in the Academy Award-winning film 'The English Patient.'
