Abbazia San Giovanni in Venere

(CH) - Fossacesia

The Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere is located in the municipality of Fossacesia, on a hill overlooking the Adriatic Sea at 107 m above sea level. The monastic complex of San Giovanni in Venere is composed of a basilica and the nearby monastery, both built at the beginning of the 13th century on the site of the small pre-existing monastery. The location is very panoramic: it is on a hill that dominates the nearby coast for several kilometers to the north and south. Since December 2014, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities has managed it through the Abruzzo Museum Center, which in December 2019 became the Regional Museum Directorate.
