Badia di San Pietro

Founded in the VII century by Benedictine monks, the Abbey of St. Peter in Camaiore, with its monastic complex surrounded by a wall, was for a long time a reference point on the route of the Via Francigena. It is the last part that remains of the Benedictine monastery of the same name founded around 761 along the Via Francigena.

Despite numerous integrations and rebuildings, even recently made, following the numerous seismic events that have occurred, the structure is the original Romanesque-Benedictine one and the access is still gained via the ancient convent door, the only trace of the monastic complex that still exists.
