Salvatio Monastery (also: Saluatio ) (Allar al-Sufla) was a Cistercian monastery in what is now the State of Israel . It was probably in Al-Tannur in Chirbat, about 15 km west of Jerusalem immediately west of the town of Mata, where ruins can be found.
history
The monastery was founded in 1161 as a subsidiary of the Morimond Primary Abbey from Balamand Monastery . It was not mentioned after 1174.
Buildings and plant
The ruinous church, which was identified by the art historian Denys Pringle as the monastery church Salvatio, is located on the eastern edge of a larger ruin complex and is around 22 by 13.5 m in size and is the best preserved building there. The church probably had one inside the east wall semicircular apse, the window of which has been preserved in the wall that is just closed on the outside. The north wall is still some height. Consoles and vaults have been preserved inside, so that a vaulting of the church can be proven.
