One of the most beautiful churches in Lombardy, the Chiaravalle Abbey is a Cistercian monastic complex located in the South Milan Agricultural Park. Founded in the 12th century by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, it was consecrated in 1221 and has a Romanesque and Gothic architectural style. Particularly known is the bell tower called Ciribiciaccola, in which there is an ancient bell still rung by hand by the monks today.

One of the main centers of Cistercian spirituality in Italy, it deserves a visit for its religious and architectural importance. To admire the splendid Gothic tower, called Ciribiciaccola, inside which is the bell from the mid-fifteenth century which still rings the tolls of the liturgy of the hours. The recently renovated water mill is very interesting, still able to grind cereals thanks to the water of a canal that passes from the Abbey.
