The Medieval Church
of Abbazia Santa Anastasia
Renew your vows in the Church of the Abbey
testimony of the history and religiosity of the place
Inside the Abbey of Santa Anastasia stands a medieval church, founded along with the complex around 1100 by Count Roger of Hauteville and dedicated to Saint Anastasia, a first-century Christian martyr, due to the etymology of her name, which means "resurrection" or "rebirth."
Various historical texts refer to the functionality, fame, and prestige of the Benedictine Abbey and its medieval church. Among these, the Papal Bull of February 24, 1151, deserves special mention.
Expertly restored, the church, surrounded by the beauty and tranquility of nature, evokes bygone times and invites contemplation and long meditation.
