In the green valleys between the municipalities of Orvinio and Pozzaglia Sabina, you can admire the remains of the important Benedictine Abbey of S. Maria del Piano. The complex, currently in a state of abandonment, dates back to the 11th century, although according to an ancient legend,
it was erected by Charlemagne in the 8th or 9th century. The abbey grew in importance during the 12th century, and at the beginning of the following century it was restored; then, its decadence began. Towards the end of the Middle Ages, it was abandoned by the monks.

We issued a competition asking participants to Reuse the Abbey as a meditation center that can accommodate people for art performances, yoga, workshops, and other kinds of meditation sessions, integrated with facilities.
