Saint Nilo Abbey Grottaferrata


1-     Grottaferratta Abbey
2-    Abbey of Saint Nilo, church of Santa Maria, library and walls.
3-    Started in XI century, it was enriched with frescoes in XIII and XVII century
4-    It combines art from different styles from Romanesque to neoclassical
5-    The location of the Abbey dominates a nice landscape scenery.  
6-    The abbey buildings are rather familiar. The type of church and its tower are not very different of those in Spain
I liked the different places of the abbey we visited: the entry with the walls, the cloister, the church and the surrounding landscape and mainly the frescoes inside the church and the celebration there which remind me of the orthodox way
