This was one of the most important Cistercian centers in Italy. The church was built around 1135 according to the wishes of Saint Bernard of Claivaux and the Pallavicino family. The Romanesque church with 14th and 15th century frescoes and the beautiful cloister have been preserved from the abbey complex. The old facade of the basilica is still visible in the upper part, behind the 14th-century porch. The church consists of three naves with a transept according to the classical plan of the primitive churches of the Cistercian order. The southern part of the transept has a beautiful staircase, which gives access to the monks' dormitory.

The monastery of Chiaravalle, founded in 1136, represents one of the first Cistercian settlements in Italy. Originating from Clairvaux in Burgundy, it followed the Cistercian tradition with influences from Bernard of Clairvaux. The structure reflects typical Cistercian characteristics, with the presbytery at a straight end and square chapels on the sides. The monastic community actively contributed to the reclamation of the Po Valley, but in 1248 it was almost totally destroyed by the imperial troops.

Documents document the existence of the monastery from 1136, making it one of the early branches of the Cistercians in Italy. The first Cistercian monastery was founded in Cîteaux in Burgundy in 1098, and the famous Clairvaux (1115) a little later. Chiaravalle was founded directly by monks from Clairvaux, and there are some indications that Bernhard von Clairvaux was personally involved. The foundation of the Burgundian monastery can be seen in the name: Chiaravalle is the Italian development of the originally Latin name "claravallis" (= bright valley), Clairvaux the French. The suffix "della Colomba" (dove) refers to a legend in connection with the foundation: a white dove is said to have deposited a branch at the place where the monastery was to be founded. In the tradition of the Cistercians (ora et labora), the monastery has done remarkable things for the cultivation of the swamps and floodplain forests of the Po Valley. Extensive donations soon made the monastery so wealthy and powerful that it was able to found numerous other daughter monasteries in the area. Immediate daughter monasteries were Fontevivo, Quartazzola, Brondolo, Santa Maria in Strada and San Martino di Bocci. The abbey experienced its heyday in the Middle Ages. But in 1248 it was almost completely burned down by the troops of Emperor Friedrich II. The construction of the monastery adheres strictly to the guidelines that Bernhard had issued. Typical of Cistercian churches are the straight choir and the almost square chapels to the right and left of it. Originally there were two other chapels on the end of the transept. This arrangement, which also existed in Pontigny Abbey (Burgundy), clearly shows that many monks must have been priests at the same time, who needed chapels for their daily services.
