Best places: Monasteries in Florence, Italy

Hermitage dating to the 11th century, with monks' quarters, a chapel & a guest house for retreats.

Hilltop monastery with guided tours of frescoed cloisters, monks' cells & the refectory.

Historic, art-filled abbey with a 2-story cloister & nightly vespers sung by resident nuns & monks.

👍👍 A place of peace, where the Presence of God is captured in the silence, praised and adored by the nuns in moments of liturgical prayer. The silence adorned by the Gregorian melodies of the divine office open to an authentic Christian experience of the thrice Holy God

👍👍 Convento in linea con l'austerità francescana
