Sant'Erasmo, Veroli
Sant'Erasmo is a Romanesque architecture, Roman Catholic church and convent located on Via Garibaldi in the town of Veroli, province of Frosinone, region of Lazio, Italy.
History[edit]
Tradition holds that the monastery was founded around the year 1000 by St Benedict of Nursia during a trip from Subiaco abbey to Montecassino abbey.
The interior of the church has been refurbished over the ages but the exteriors maintain the Romanesque architecture, with a portico with rounded arches. The building was designed by the 12th-century architect Martinus. [1] In 1570, a Eucharistic miracle occurred here. The church was given the title of Collegiata insigne.[2]
Presently, the monastery functions as an inn, with the monastic rooms serving as rooms. The ancient refectory is now a restaurant.[3]
