Abbazia di Monteveglio

The Abbazia di Santa Maria Assunta is recognizable by its massive, fortified stone walls and a defensive gateway arch, crowned with swallowtail battlements, that guards the entrance to the village. This medieval complex sits atop a hill in the Valsamoggia valley, marking a site historically known as Mons Belli, or the mount of war, due to its strategic position in ancient conflicts.
