Monastero San Benedetto

Monastery

👍👍 No grates at the Monastery of Clausura San Benedetto: as a rule they do not exist (so the nuns say). An oasis of peace and Letizia in the heart of the city, a stone's throw from the whirlwind of commerce and finance.

👍👍 One of a kind spiritual place. It cannot be visited. It is a place of study and meditation.

Inside one beautiful libra...
