The Abbey of Montecassino, founded by San Benedetto da Norcia in 529 AD. C., is the oldest monastery in Italy together with the monastery of Santa Scolastica. The abbey is one of the most important places of worship in Lazio and Italy and can be defined as the cradle of Western monasticism.

It is the destination of the evocative Cammino di San Benedetto which leads from his hometown of Norcia to the abbey of Montecassino which houses his tomb, passing through Subiaco where the Saint lived for a long time and where the monastery of Santa Scolastica and that of the Sacro Speco are located.

The Abbey of Montecassino (also called Monte Cassino and Benedictine monastery of Monte Cassino; Latin Abbatia Territorialis Montis Cassini) is the mother monastery (Latin Archicoenobium Montis Casini; the Monte casino is the "mountain (above) Casino") of all Benedictines in the province of Frosinone in Italy. It was built by Benedict of Nursia in 529 on the site of an old temple to Apollo and has the rank of an archabbey. In addition, as a territorial abbey, it is assigned ecclesiastical territory, which, however, was restricted to the abbey area in 2014. The monastery complex is located on a 516 m high rocky hill in the urban area of Cassino (the Roman Casinum, later San Germano) between Rome and Naples. Montecassino is considered one of the most important spiritual centers of the Middle Ages and gained special scientific importance through great theologians (Petrus Diaconus), historians, physicians, exegetes and mathematicians (Pandulf). The monastery was completely destroyed by a United States Army Air Forces air raid in February 1944 during the Battle of Monte Cassino. Many art treasures had previously been saved by the Wehrmacht in the Vatican State. After the war, the monastery was rebuilt in ten years on the basis of the old building plans that were also saved.
