Serra San Bruno

Serra San BrunoSerra San Bruno

Serra San Bruno lies inland in the middle of the Calabrian Apennines. It houses a true architectural jewel. The church of San Biagio from the year 1795 gleams with a pretty baroque façade. Inside you will find a white marble floor as well as four marble statues which are worth taking a good look at. The most famous sight here is the Certosa (Charterhouse), Italy's first Carthusian monastery, which is situated in a pretty forest. It was founded between 1090 and 1101 by Saint Bruno from Cologne. Now there are only a few monks who look forward to our visits when they are not praying. However, only men are allowed to enter the monastery. Serra San Bruno is known for its works of art and fascinating century old pine and beech woods where many varieties of mushrooms thrive.
