A Place for Gregorian Chants


This is the former Abbey of Sant' Antimo, built in the 9th century, and located just below the town of Castelnuovo dell'Abate.  Seven Augustinian monks live here. We reached the Abbey in time to hear the Gregorian Chants. Four monks sang and we were all taken to another more peaceful place as we sat on the hard benches...
This is the view from the Abbey's driveway...You can see the olive tree in the foreground and the rows of grape vines in the background--all surrounded by the cypress trees.
