Sagittario Monastery (S. Maria del Sagittario) is a former Cistercian monk abbey in Basilicata , Italy . It is located in the north of the municipality of San Severino Lucano on the Chiaromonte field in the Pollino National Park in the province of Potenza , above the Frido stream.

history

The legend of the discovery of a statue of the Madonna by a hunter surrounds the founding of the monastery. According to other reports, it was founded as a Benedictine monastery in the middle of the 11th century. The Benedictines must have left the monastery by the end of the 11th century. In 1202 a Cistercian convent moved in from Casamari Monastery from the filiation of Clairvaux Primary Abbey . The first abbot was Blessed Palombo, his successor Guglielmo. In 1633 the abbey, which had fallen in Coming , joined the Calabro-Lukan Congregation of the Cistercian Order. In 1803 it was dissolved.

Plant and buildings

The complex fell into disrepair after 1803. A chapel was built next to the ruins of the 13th century monastery.
