Behind the church you still have the magnificent Great Cloister from the late 1500s: its style illustrates the period of passage from the end of the Renaissance, represented by the elegant linearity of the structure, to the beginning of the Baroque age. Surrounded by Doric-Tuscan order columns, the cloister is kept as a garden and is also the monks' cemetery: look at the beautiful skulls carved over the white marble balustrades.
