Database: Abbazia di San Mercuriale (Identity)

The Abbazia di San Mercuriale was an important religious building located in the city of Forlì.

The tower of the Abbazia stands at a height of 75 meters and is one of the tallest towers in Italy. The first church on the site was destroyed by fire in 1173. The present structure was built with brick in the Lombard-Romanesque style and took only 7 years; making it one of the most miraculous construction jobs in the history of Italy.

The colonnade to the right church is part of the abbey's cloister.
