It was once an island surrounded by the Po di Volano river, the Po di Goro river and the sea; it is now a fascinating place of art and culture. It is considered one of the most important Roman buildings. It was founded by the Benedictines before the IX century on a “island” between the sea and the Po river, and it thus experienced many years of glory, especially during the centuries after 1000. During this period, its property included not only many areas of the delta, but also vast areas of other Italian regions. On Sundays at 11:00 AM the Catholic Holy Mass is held. In the Benedictine complex, it is possible to admire the cathedral, the refectory, and chapter house, or you can relax in the green areas of the large surrounding park.
