Walking tour + transport
There are very fascinating places in the area around Avellino which were visited and inhabited by the Templars, the famous knights, protectors of the crusaders visiting the Holy Land.
The Templars' order was established in 1118 by nine knights, after the conquest of Jerusalem. Those monks were originally supposed to help pilgrims who decided to settle in the Midde East, after visiting Jerusalem. Soon after a few years, those monks established themself along the pilmgrage roads, building monasteries and other buildings in order to take care of the pilgrims. One of those complexes is the legendary Saint Guglielmo al Goleto Abbey, dedicated to Archangel Saint Michael. This is a hermitage not far from the small village of S. Angelo dei Lombardi in the Avellino province. The ancient friary is a masterpiece of the Romanesque architecture and it includes the monastery and two churches. Various symbols representing Templar Knights were found on the walls of the abbey, making us believe that the Templars were using the monastery to protect pilgrims travelling towards Jerusalem.
