Olivetan cloister with the cistern

In the heart of the town of Monghidoro, it is possible to walk under the stone arches of the ancient Olivetan monastery cloister, dating back to 1528, which has become a true symbol of this place over the years.

The cloister is located in the historic center of the town and is commonly called "della cisterna", since the monks had built a cistern (still visible) suitable for recovering rainwater but especially for making it drinkable, thanks to a filtering system between pieces of coal. The charm of the cloister is such that it is often chosen as a location for demonstrations and events, among the most interesting of which we point out the summer festival of "Cistern Concerts".
