Torba Abbey

Torba Abbey grew around a late Roman watchtower of the Castelseprio fort in the Olona valley. In the 8th century Benedictine nuns turned the tower into an oratory and built a church and convent; frescoes of the nuns survive on its upper floor. Part of the UNESCO site of the Lombards in Italy, it was the first FAI property and opened to visitors in 1986.
