Of architectural interest, a survey has revealed the complex was constructed in several different stages – it has 12th century masonry work with details reminiscent of churches from the other side of the Alps, and monastery buildings of a later period. From an archaeological point of view, the numerous surveys carried out have not only provided more details about the various stages of the Abbey’s evolution, but they have also uncovered simple graves with no grave goods inside the church we have today, which could conceivably belong to the first holy building erected on the site.
The restoration
The restoration of the church ruins and part of the monastery will, on the whole, be strictly conservative, while the rest of the complex will be given a new layout to enable visitors to understand and appreciate the various different stages in its construction. Several visitor routes will be created, as well as observation points to admire the surrounding countryside.
