Three collections of photos from Abbey Sant Antimo, one set outside the Abbey and one inside. The third group of photos shows the variety of fascinating small sculpted figures which are in place in many areas around the outside of the Abbey buildings. If you look closely at one of the earlier Sant Antimo figures you might see a couple of these in place.
Many of these sculptures were brought here from ruins in the region - examples of medieval recycling!
This is an active Abbey and if one arrives early enough in the morning it is possible to hear the monks singing Gregorian Chant. Unfortunately, we didn't get there in time.
