Abbey of San Caprasio in Aulla, Medieval monastery and archaeological site in Aulla, Italy.
The Abbey of San Caprasio features ancient stone walls, a restored facade, and multiple architectural elements from different historical periods.
Founded in 884 by Adalbert I of Tuscany, the abbey transformed from a dedication to Virgin Mary to Saint Caprasius in 1077.
