Abbaye de Silvacane

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:11:30

Lying 7km southwest of Cadenet, Abbaye de Silvacane is one of a trio of medieval abbeys built in Provence by Cistercian monks. Constructed between 1175 and 1230, it has all the hallmarks of the Romanesque style, from the unadorned chapel to the peaceful cloister. Today it hosts concerts and art exhibitions.
