Monastery of Sant'Anna a Monte
Il monastero di Sant'Anna a Monte, detto “de acquis vivis”, fu costruito sul terreno donato dalla regina Agnese ai monaci del Sacro Specus di Subiaco. Nel 1342, due monaci del sopraccitato monastero, col permesso del loro abate, fondarono quest'edificio. La sua lenta decadenza comincia circa trecento anni dopo, nel 1500, con le varie incursioni saracene. Verso la metà del ‘700, viene iniziato un primo tentativo di ristrutturazione, ad opera dell'abate Nicola da Salerno.
