The floors beneath the arches bear the footprints of history, echoing the stories of the countless pilgrims and monks who have passed through these hallowed halls. The monastery, founded in the 10th century, was once an autonomous community, governed by the Benedictine monks who dedicated their lives to the pursuit of knowledge, art, and spiritual growth.
