Sacred places in Italy are characterized by an extreme fascination, because of the union of landscape beauty and historical and artistic interest. One of the essential steps for those who want to live this atmosphere is the Benedictine abbey of Praglia, which lies at the foot of Mount Lozina in the town of Abano Terme (province of Padua).

The complex was founded in the eleventh century, and in 1448 it joined the Benedictine reform. This abbey was for years a major center for the agriculture of Padua, and it is now a center of excellence for the restoration of antique books. Visitors can appreciate the beauty of this ancient building, by visiting the four cloisters and the Romanesque bell tower, the church built by architect Tullio Lombardo, better known as Solari.

Like many holy places, this abbey and its monastery have inspired an artist, the writer Antonio Fogazzaro, who stayed there at the beginning of the twentieth century.
