Montecassino
In the Sixth Century, St. Benedict took over an Apollo temple and turned it into a Christian church, dedicated to St. Martin of Tours. Over time more chapels and buildings were added until it became Monte Cassino Abbey, a territorial abbey.
The stamps on the first three rows are in commemoration of the 14 Century of the Monte Cassino Abbey: the cloister, the founding, and the death of St. Benedict.
