Morticelli, Medieval monastery and cemetery in Benevento, Italy
The Morticelli complex includes an abbey, cemetery, and monastery buildings constructed according to Lombard architectural principles with stone walls and vaulted ceilings.
The Abbazia di San Lupo, established during the Lombard period, functioned as a center of religious life and served as a burial ground for local inhabitants.
The cemetery contains numerous stone tombs and memorials that document the lives of Benevento residents through different historical periods and social classes.
Visitors can access the monastery grounds daily through the main entrance, while the cemetery section requires advance permission from the administrative office.
The site combines three distinct functions - monastery, cemetery, and abbey - within a single complex, demonstrating the integration of religious and community needs.
