Praglia Abbey
Abbazia di Praglia
A 12th-century abbey still home to Benedictine monks. Its four cloisters and manuscript restoration workshop can be visited on a guided tour.
The abbey sits among vineyards at the foot of the Euganean Hills. It was rebuilt in the Renaissance and features four cloisters, each in a different style, and a refectory decorated with frescoes. The monks restore ancient manuscripts, make wine and produce herbal products, which can be bought in the shop. Tours are mainly in Italian and operate on a donation basis. The abbey is closed on Mondays, and visitors should dress modestly and remain quiet.
