I have finally managed to stop at this and its church. It is located near SS309 so it is easy to approch while driving here. and the is very old. I admire the place due its monuental tower. Its windows are so fine arranged. From biforas till quadriforas. I was also stunned by the interior of the church, while it has beautiful all over its walls. For sure are younger than the church, but they are more than 500 years old. So some parts of the place are from 9th and some are dated younger. The was extend during the centouries. There are also mosaics on the floors, that are not as rich as in Ravenna or Aquilea, but nevertheless unique and stunnish. There are buildings around church, that are nowadays a museum. It was the sunday and the museum was for free. There you can see some more and treated stones, some relicts, but not as impresive than the church. Free parking. The at Pomposo was founded in the 6th century, possibly by the colleagues of the Irish monk Columbanus and by the 9th was famous for its library and scriptorium. It is also the place where modern musical notation was invented and codified in the 11th century. The current was built in the 9th and expanded and modified through to the 14th before being abandoned in 1650. The nine story bell tower is an 11th addition. The museum contains various carvings and removed from the and has plenty of information in English. The quality of the was just amazing and the colours fantastic, with very earthy yellows, browns and reds. There were more in the refectory and chapter house and the itself is awesome with a mosaic and tiled floor and almost every wall covered in more frescoes. The bell tower is only open at weekends I think so we couldn't go up there this time. There are a couple of small cafes on site and parking is free. Entrance was a bargain €5 and we probably spent an hour on site, including the obligatory coffee stop. Beautiful Abbey, off the beaten track. We visited this on our way from Venice to Rimini. It's an amazing stop. The tower of the is impressive when you walk up to it. The inside are awesome and the floor is very beautiful. Try to find some time to visit this abbey. A quick stop on our trip from Ravenna to Venice! A must see! Well kept ! Lot of history! Recommend it ! The monastery is well worth a visit. The main building is a thing of beauty.
