Eremo di Belmonte, Carthusian monastery and hermitage in Busca, Italy.

The Eremo di Belmonte stands at 836 meters altitude, featuring a residential building in a horseshoe shape that surrounds a garden with an Atlas cedar.

Founded in 1277 as a female Carthusian monastery, the complex later transferred to Dominican nuns in the 15th century and Camaldolese monks in the 17th century.

The interior contains numerous paintings, including ceiling works by Francesco Gonin depicting themes from the Italian Wars of Independence.

The ascent to the monastery extends 4 kilometers with an elevation gain of 333 meters, starting from Via Ernesto Francotto and Via Eremo.

The hillside of the hermitage served as a location for geodetic measurements in the early 19th century under Baron Zach's direction.
