Intro
A major Christian site, the Abbey was founded in 515 in honour of the martyrdom of Saint Maurice and his companions in the Theban Legion. Its present-day Basilica dates back to the 15th century and contains elements dating from between the 11th and 20th centuries. A visit to the basilica, the treasury and its precious collection of gold and silverware, the archaeological excavations, the catacombs and the cloister retraces more than 1,500 years of uninterrupted monastic life.
