Abbey of St Maria del Monte
This abbey might seem modest at first, but stepping inside reveals a rich and layered history. The most intriguing part for us was the collection of ex-voto tablets, small painted offerings that date back hundreds of years. Each one feels like a snapshot of personal stories, making the space feel alive with real connections to the past. We also learned that the abbey is home to a workshop for restoring antique books, showing that it’s not just a historical site but an active part of preserving local culture. What made the visit special was the sense of intimacy—everything, from the art to the stories behind the ex-votos, felt personal. If you’re visiting Cesena and have an interest in history or tradition, this abbey is definitely worth seeing.
