Abbazia di San Basilide, Romanesque abbey in San Michele Cavana, Italy.

The abbey features a stone church with a semicircular apse, sturdy walls, and capitals decorated with symbols of evangelists at the entrance portico.

Bernard degli Uberti, advisor to Countess Matilde of Canossa, initiated the construction of this Vallombrosan monastery between 1096 and 1106.

The church contains liturgical furnishings, an ancient ambo, and a crypt beneath the apse that houses the remains of Saint Basilide.

The religious complex stands at Strada Comunale della Badia 10 in San Michele Cavana, within the Diocese of Parma pastoral zone.

The monastery maintains its medieval elements, including twin lancet windows and columns, despite numerous modifications throughout nine centuries.
