Casamari

Today we visited a Cistercian abbey called Casamari (somehow related to or built near the house of Marius, a Roman consul). It is a beautiful monastery near Veroli. How the monks built the monastery 800 years ago is a marvel to me.  St. Bernard visited the monastery.  To see more about the monastery, go to:  http://paradoxplace.com and click on Casamari.
