nsp:content "The site of the former monastery consists of a series of stone ruins—remains of various freestanding buildings, some of which appear to have been connected at one point. It was difficult to verify the function of these structures, but Mr. Magaraci provided information on how he thought the various structures had been used. According to Mr. Magaraci, there are seven structures on the site: two portal structures on the western facade, a structure he referred to as a palmento—a space for storing and making wine, the monks' cells, a small chapel, a cistern, and a tomb." ;

nsp:notes "In September 2019, Max Wilson (B.A., architecture, Yale University) performed the field survey, CSSI assessments, and photographed the site. Max was accompanied by Dr. Roberto Motta and Carmelo Magaraci, who owns a hotel in the area and offered to guide the group. The remains of the monastery are located on a plateau in a rural area outside the town of Francavilla di Sicilia. One must park on the shoulder of the SS185 highway and walk west on an unmarked footpath that leads through private property to reach the plateau. The trip requires crossing over the San Paolo River, which at the time of the visit was dry, but which, according to Mr. Magaraci, can flood, rendering the site completely inaccessible. The site entrance is marked by a barbed wire fence with a makeshift gate that is difficult to open. There is a strenuous hike up and around the side of a hill through dense brush to the west side of the plateau. There are no regular hours posted online or at the site. One first approaches the western side of the facade where the remains of the two entrance portal structures stand. What remains of the south structure is a low wall. The north structure consists of a stone wall and the remnants of the four walls that would have made up an adjacent chamber. To the east of the west facade lie the remains of the palmento, which consist of several small stone archways that run north to south. To the east of the palmento, stands a stone wall with a regular pattern of pieces missing, which may indicate where windows once were, forming the outer wall of the monks' cells. Directly to the south of the cell structure stands the ruins of the chapel, which appear to have once been connected to the cells. To the west of the chapel, one finds a hollowed-out space in the ground with a stone bottom. The rough silhouette of a man is carved into the stone, indicating that the space may have once functioned as a tomb. On the southeast corner of the site, there is another large hole, which functioned as a cistern to capture and store rainwater. The site is located in a seismic zone and seismic activity may pose a significant risk to the structures. Droppings indicate animals are present at the site. There is no signage whatsoever, which may render the site vulnerable to trespassing and vandalism. A brief historical note: little is known about the community, which was abandoned in the 18th century."^^xsd:string ;
