The Benedictine Monastery of Catania is a jewel of the late Sicilian Baroque. A Cassinese congregation founded the complex in 1558. The original structure was modified by two natural calamities the lava eruption of 1669 and the earthquake of 1693.
In the hillside hamlet of San Pietro a Marcigliano, not far north of the city of Lucca, nestles The Monastery, a charming holiday house surrounded by olive groves and wine yards. This incomparable setting is a hidden part of Tuscany, timeless, unchanging and away from the tourist track.

From the 3rd century CE there developed a trend in Egypt and Syria which saw some Christians decide to live the life of a solitary hermit or ascetic. They did this because they thought that without any material or worldly distractions they would achieve a greater understanding of and closeness to God. In addition, whenever early Christians were per...
From the 5th century CE the idea of monasteries spread across the Byzantine Empire and then to Western Europe where they adopted their own distinct practices based on the teachings of the Italian abbot Saint Benedict of Nursia (c. 480-c. 543), regarded as the founder of the European monastery model. Benedict himself founded a monastery at Monte Cas...
From the 11th century new orders began to appear, most notably the Cistercian order (formed in 1098), largely because some monks wanted an even stricter lifestyle for themselves than the Benedictines could offer. The Cistercian order put much more emphasis on religious studies and minimised the physical labour monks were expected to perform. Such l...
Monasteries varied greatly in size with the smaller ones having only a dozen or so monks and perhaps being led by a prior instead of an abbot. Larger ones such as Cluny Abbey in France (founded c. 910), boasted 460 monks at its peak in the 12th century but around 100 brothers seems to have been a typical number for most monasteries.

Indeed, sometimes geography dictated architecture such as with the remote mountain-top monasteries at Meteora in Greece or the Benedictine abbey on the tidal islet of Mont-Saint-Michelin France.

In the manorial system of Europe, land was typically parcelled out into areas known as manors – the smallest estate which had a few hundred acre...
A monastery provided local communities with spiritual guidance; very often its church was for wider public use, it gave employment, and its monks provided education, safe-guarded holy relics, entertained the pilgrims who came to visit, looked after orphans, the sick and aged, and daily gave out food, drink and alms to the poor. Monks produced and c...

The Monastery. Vincitore all'IDFA e in concorso al festival di Alba, un documentario di mirabile spessore umano e sincera ispirazione religiosa. Luca Pellegrini. 1 aprile, 2007. Il naso gli è sempre stato un problema: appuntito e prominente, segna il suo volto, dandogli un profilo buffo e arguto. Il naso, dunque, è un problema, non la vita.
The monastery of the Benedict nuns, formerly dedicated to Santa Bibiana, has ancient origins. Its current name may derive from the primitive (male) Benedictine monastery of St. Peter, located near Lake Bolsena and known in Montefiascone in the year 852.
