` The Badia of Sant’Arcangelo (the ‘Abbey of Saint Archangel’) is a former Benedictine abbey founded around the year 1000. It is located above the village of Sant’Arcangelo, which is part of the commune of Magione, on the south-eastern shore of lake Trasimeno in the Italian region of Umbria. == The building == The site on a hill on the slope of an oak wood-covered mountain, surrounded by olive groves, offers a stunning view over lake Trasimeno. The powerful architecture shows traces of many changes and conversions undertaken by a succession of owners. Its original creation as a religious building remains obvious, in conjunction with elements of a strong fortress. The façade of the Romanesque church as part of the abbey call attention, as do the massive foundations with narrow slits typical for fortresses. Over time, a tower, battlements and loopholes – still visible at the top of the tower – accentuated the character of the abbey as a stronghold, also recognizable through external walls that are now enclosed, and openings now facing inward. The plant forms an irregular rectangle around a patio with a deep well. The church with its campanile, consecrated to Saint Michael, forms its north flank and a fortress tower with battlements the south-eastern angle. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Badia di Sant'Arcangelo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
