Badia Prataglia - Santa Maria Assunta e San Bartolomeo

"Santa Maria Assunta e San Bartolomeo" is the last remaining structure of an abbey, founded in 986 by Benectian monks from Montcassino. In 1008 the church of the abbey was consecrated by Elemperto, Bishop of Arezzo.

In Camaldoli, only about six kilometers west another abbey was founded in 1012 by Saint Romuald, a Benedictine hermit. The rise of the order of the (still existing) Camaldolese created conflicts between the two convents, that lasted for centuries.

The parish church of today is the result of numerous alterations.
