Badia Nuova, Baroque monastery in Alcamo, Italy
The Badia Nuova features intricate architectural details throughout its structure, with elaborate decorations adorning the main altar and side chapels.
Founded in 1531, the monastery underwent reconstruction after a fire destroyed the original San Anastasia oratory in 1623, leading to its current form.
The monastery contains numerous artworks, including Giacomo Guerrini's altarpiece depicting the Madonna with Child alongside St Michael Archangel and St Francis of Paola.
The monastery maintains regular visiting hours for those interested in exploring its chapels, artwork, and architectural elements dating from the 18th century.
The structure's library houses exceptional paintings illustrating the Triumph of Art and Science, completed in 1754 by Giovanni Antonio Cucchi.
