The building layout reflects the practical arrangement needed for monastic life, with spaces for prayer, work, and daily activities.
The monastery was founded in 962 by Count Berardo on Pietrarossa mountain and grew into an important center of religious life for hundreds of years. In 1902 it received official recognition as a national monument.
