The three Benedictine abbeys are:
- Casamari Abbey: founded by the Benedictines around the year 1000, then entrusted to the Cistercians, followers of the rule of Saint Bernard of Chiaravalle, it still preserves works of art and precious manuscripts in the well-stocked library and in the museum-art gallery.
- The Abbey of Montecassino: destroyed and rebuilt several times (just remember the devastating air raid of 1944), it has always been one of the greatest centers of radiation of Benedictine spirituality and Western culture. Where still today in the prestigious library are preserved precious documents such as the "Placito Cassinese", the first legal document in the vernacular and the famous illuminated manuscripts
- Trisulti in Collepardo: Famous for its structure but above all for the old pharmacy (now a museum) where the monks worked herbs and spices from the surrounding mountains, extracting essences and aromas for infusions and distillates such as Amaro centerbe, Trisulti brandy, anisette, imperial tincture and Sambuca, among the oldest in Italy.
