Abbazia Santa Maria di Morimondo Cloister Entrance Ticket

Visit: Abbazia Santa Maria di Morimondo, Piazza Municipio 6, 20081, Morimondo Italy

All the rooms of the monastery find their connecting point in the cloister; it occupies a central place for the life of the monk as it is a place of silence and prayer. Its name derives from the Latin «claustrum» which means closed, in fact it has no outlets directed to the outside and communicates only with the sky just to remind the monk the only reason for his life: to have the mind fixed in God. Currently the cloister of Morimondo is presented in its essential medieval plan. There are two more recent insertions: three Renaissance porticoes of the very early 1500s and two palaces of the mid 18th century. The north side retains the original appearance
