Monastery of Saint Anna
Highlight • Religious Site
The monastery of Sant'Anna a Monte is an ancient religious building located on the top of Monte Crestagallo in the municipality of Mondragone, now completely abandoned.
The Monastery is nicknamed De Aquis Vivis (literally Delle Acque Vive) due to its proximity to a spring of perennial waters, considered miraculous.
The history of the Monastery dates back to at least the fourteenth century, a period in which a group of humble hermits settled on the heights of Mount Crestagallo in the province of Terra di Lavoro. There the brothers began to live in poor makeshift cells and their livelihood was based almost on alms alone.
Subsequently, again in that period, a humble church was built and dedicated to Sant'Anna, the mother of Mary. Thanks for its construction is due to the then queen consort of Naples, Sancha d'Aragona (1285–1345)
