EUR2.00EUR
The abbey of Morimondo, unlike the traditional Cistercian and Benedictine buildings in general that are built in plan, is built on several levels. In fact it is built on a depression, so it presents a total of four levels that are well identified on the eastern side. Starting from the top, we have the quota + 4.90 meters corresponding to the dormitory, at the altitude +0.00 meters are the cloister and the scriptorium, to -4,60 meters the weaving room and finally to -8,80 meters the hall of the founders.
The locals of the cenobio, whatever the purpose for which they are used, have a similar structure, simple, linear and at the same time elegant, because for the monk every activity, and not just prayer, must be a praise to God.
