The abbey of San Pietro al Monte is an architectural complex of Romanesque style, located in the Oro valley in the municipality of Civate in the province of Lecco. The place, which is currently no longer occupied by religious, consists of three buildings: the basilica of San Pietro, the oratory dedicated to St. Benedict and what was the monastery of which only ruins remain. It is a wonderful church, rich in architectural and artistic content of great value.
