Monastery of Saint Benedict

The Monastery of Saint Benedict, also known asSacro Specoor “Holy Cave”, was built on the spot where the saint withdrew to pray when he was still an adolescent, and where he established the Rule of the order“Ora et labora”(“Pray and work”). Over the years, many disciples of Saint Benedict were drawn to theAniene Valley.This led to the construction of thirteen monasteries. The only one that is still standing is the monastery ofSaint Scholastica.
