A millennial heritage to experience and enhance
Founded between 1160 and 1202 by the Crociferi monks, the Abbey of Santa Maria in Potenza preserves over eight hundred years of history, originally intended as a place of welcome for pilgrims heading to the Sanctuary of Loreto and the Holy Land. Today, thanks to careful restoration, the Abbey is a habitable and functional private residence, preserving important Romanesque architectural elements such as the apse, the colonnaded loggia, and the ancient crypt.
Property Layout and Surface Areas
The property boasts a large total area, making it suitable for multiple uses:

Secondary Home: approximately 110 square meters, independent, ideal for guests, staff, or commercial use.
