Abbazia di Santa Maria Assunta

The abbey features a three-aisled basilica structure with cruciform pilasters, five bays in the aisles, and two in the nave with groin vaults.

Established around 1150, the Abbey of Santa Maria Assunta underwent numerous modifications while maintaining its original Roman brick construction and architectural elements.

The religious complex represents monastic traditions and architectural principles that influenced religious buildings across Northern Italy during the medieval period.

Located on Via San Rocco 1 in Monteveglio Alto within the Castello area, the abbey stands as a testament to medieval engineering methods.

The structure incorporates specific dichromatic patterns between brick and plaster, sharing architectural similarities with the abbeys of Chiaravalle della Colomba and Fontevivo.
