At that time the tower was built and this is the real symbol of the Abbazia. In 1200 too was also built the pretty little private church where bride and groom can celebrate their evocative and romantic wedding.
During centuries Abbazia had several owners that changed this convent in a luxury court with horses and dogs for hunting.
