Banzi — Abbazia di San Teodoro
Basilicata
Founded in the 8th century and once a major Benedictine centre, San Teodoro now stands as a lone ruin in open farmland outside Banzi, its bare walls rising from the wheat fields with little else around. A flat farm track leads out from the village across gently rolling countryside to reach it.
