Abbey of Santa Maria di Faifoli, Medieval abbey in Montagano, Italy.

The abbey features a gabled facade adorned with a Gothic portal, pointed arches, and a semicircular window above the main entrance.

The abbey's first historical records date to 1134, and it received a notable visit from Pietro Angelerio, later Pope Celestino V, in 1230.

The interior holds a wooden statue of Madonna known as dell'Incoronata and a 1705 painting depicting the Virgin with Child.

The church section of the abbey, transferred to Montagano municipality in 1998, contains three naves supported by six square pillars with round arches.

An inscription on the left capital of the portal, dated 1263, provides direct evidence of the abbey's architectural development during medieval times.
