Santa Mustiola, Romanesque monastery in Torri, Italy

The monastery of Santa Mustiola features a three-tiered cloister with eleven arches per side, supported by slender columns with carved plant motifs.

Founded in the mid-11th century, the monastery received protection from Pope Alexander II in 1071 and later joined the Vallombrosan Congregation.

The church contains a stone altar in Romanesque style and a painting by Luca di Tommè depicting the Madonna with Child.

The monastery remains accessible to visitors through local transport connections and offers guided tours of its medieval architecture and gardens.

The cloister stands as the only one in Tuscany that maintains intact Romanesque characteristics, with white, pink, and black stone combinations.
