Morimondo Abbey (Italian: Abbazia di Morimondo) is a former Cistercian monastery located at Morimondo, a few kilometers south of Abbiategrasso in the Metropolitan City of Milan, Lombardy, northern Italy. The surviving structure is Romanesque and Gothic. It was founded in 1134 as a daughter house of Morimond Abbey near Dijon, from which it took its name (meaning "die to the world"). A peculiarity of Morimondo Abbey is that the buildings of the monastery are built on several floors due to being built on the side of a depression. The cloister occupies the third floor above iitwo levels of large rooms with a vaulted ceiling supported by columns. Moreover, the monks' dormitory (originally a single room) is just over the chapter house. The presence of different levels is apparent in and southern parts of the monastery, but it can be seen also in the Lay brothers' buildings. More information...
