(Translated by Google) The Abbey of Milan, Chiaravalle, founded by San Bernardo di Clairvoy in 1135, is one of the most important Italian monastic complexes located in the south-east of Milan. It is still inhabited by a monastic community. In 1221, the bishop of Milan, Enrico Settala, consecrated the built church. Famous artists in Milan have contributed to the interior design such as Bernardino Luini and the Fiammengini brothers. The monastic community was suppressed in 1798 by the Cisalpine Republic, and the complex fell into decay; the church remained a parish. The restoration work of the monastery began only at the end of 1800. On March 1, 1952, the community of monks returned to the abbey for good. Grana Padano cheese was invented in this abbey a thousand years ago. (Original) Миланское аббатство Кьяравалле, основанное Сан-Бернардо ди Клерво в 1135 году, является одним из самых важных итальянских монастырских комплексов, расположенных на юго-востоке Милана. По прежнему населен монашеской общиной. В 1221 году епископ Милана Энрико Сеттала освятил построенную церковь. Знаменитые художники Милана внесли свой вклад в оформление интерьеров такие как Бернардино Луини и братья Фьямменгини. Монашеская община была подавлена ​​в 1798 году Цизальпинской республикой, и комплекс пришел в упадок; церковь оставалась приходской. Восстановительные работы монастыря начались только в конце 1800 года. 1 марта 1952 года, община монахов навсегда вернулась в аббатство. В этом аббатстве тысячу лет назад был изобретен сыр Грана Падано.

Awesome Abbey in a off the beaten path location. You must check the hours of operation before you visit or you might find it closed. Yet another gem near Milan that is often bypassed by more attractive and well publicized points of interest.

Take M3 to Corvetto and bus 77 to the abbey. Beautiful bell tower and art. Look at the choir stalls, all hand-carved. The outside courtyard is quaint. There is a toilet available. You can buy products there such as beer, liquors, soaps, and,numerous religious articles. Worth the trip if you're on town for more than a few days.

i loved this place with its peaceful atmosphere. The church is very beautiful in its simplicity. It is possible to do a tour of all the buildings with a guide at a reasonable price of 15€ for 3hours or you can choose to visit just one section. Inside there is a shop with food from the abbey and a bar where you can eat affettati and panini and of course abbey beers.

Totally worth the trip.... Sit in the garden with a drink and a honeybread enjoying the tranquillity

Incredibly recommended, the abbey is 1-hour walk from Piazzale Lodi (M3), and host a craft beer shop (by the monks) and a bar with tables in the open air. Besides, the hiking is nice through the agrarian park of Milano sud. Also served by the 77 bus line.

An interesting place worth a visit if you stay in Milano or it's neighbourhood.

Out of the tourist route. We were the only ones there. You will feel teletransported to another era. If you can go on a day with wind and the sound of the wind and the bell, it's haunting! Search for the abandoned train tracks in the back!!!

Very cool place, I hope the scaffolding on the tower will be removed soon!

Beware the flying catepillars of doom when sitting under the trees otherwise beautiful.

Always a beautiful, haunting place. The abbey was fouded in 1032 and there are still monks, living the ancient life. The place feels sacred as only ancient places and holy groves can feel.
