San Clemente a Casauria

The abbey of San Clemente digs its roots into 871 A.D. when Ludovico II, descendant of Carlo Magno, realized it to take away judgment made during his imprisonment in the dukedom of Beneventa. The following year, the relics of San Clemente were transported here.
Seriously damaged following trouble times, the building was rebuilt in its actual form between 1176 and 1182 by abbot Leonate of the Benedictine order.
In that era the abbey of San Clemente reached an importance competing with that of Cassino. The exterior is characterized by a portico leaning on three arches richly decorated with bas-reliefs. The interior has three naves in Latin-cross layout; the smooth stone and uncountable decorations, especially over the pulpit, on the ciborium, and on the monumental candelabra, give the complex a truly awesome appearance.
Near the church is the Abbey Museum, which has a collection of remains and tombstones from excavations taking place in the nearby city of Interpromium and in the vicinity of the Abbey.
