| MuSaBa Museum Park Santa Barbara MuSaBa A place of striking and unique character, MuSaBa is situated in a vast open space in an ancient valley between the creeks and folds of the surrounding hills. The River Torbido descends to the sea, revealing on the rocky surface of its bed only a weak trace of its prevalent underground course. Above the Torbido, the promontory Santa Barbara holds the remains of the monastic complex whose origins date back as far as the fourth century. In 1193, the Carthusian monks were replaced by the Cistercians. When the Carthusians returned in 1300, they asked the Emperor Charles V to reinstate the abbey’s feudal status and remained at Santa Barbara until the abolition of feudalism in 1808. The restoration of the monastery complex that began in 1969 integrate historical, archaeological, architectural, artistic, and horticultural elements. |
