Beautiful building, I passed by because the local biodance group meets here. Quiet atmosphere, in the end it's a in the building but I wasn't particularly surprised

Beautiful abbey with a long history. Built in 1079, it has undergone numerous transformations up to its current structure. Excellent maintenance thanks also to the presence of the Fileo library, the JAC Foundation and the possibility of using the location for conferences, ceremonies, etc. The visit to the church and the abbey with the guide costs only 5 euros (strongly recommended) or 3 euros for entry only. Better to book. Inside the abbey there is a small bar open from Monday to Friday from 9.00 to 17.00 and on Sundays from 10.30 to 17 where it is possible to have breakfast, lunch (including first and second courses) or a snack at excellent prices. The menu is online. In the square in front of the entrance there is a car park, an even larger one is located to the east of the location.

Interesting Renaissance monastery which it is possible to visit, for free, with a tourist guide every third Sunday of the month (For booking, check theur website). Unfortunately, the guide speaks only in Italian. It would be nice if they could add English tour. I believe that foreigners would appreciate it. The monastery passed from one religious order to the other and, at times, those who were supposed to manage it, used the its resources for their own interest... I guess this is nothing new! When Napoleon occupied Bergamo, this monastery was closed and, sadly, the French troops burned its library and all the manuscripts that were there stored... In more recent times, the monastery was used as asylum for orphans and, finally, now it belongs again to the Church and it has been restored and open to the public.
