Also known as the Abbey of Santa Giustina, Basilica Di Santa Giustina is a Benedictine Abbey and the original construction dates back to the 6th century. The model that we get to see now was remodelled in the 17th century. The church is attached to the former monastery that is now the art gallery. It is made in Byzantine style from outside and the interiors are worth a watch. It looks like it is covered with a silver sheet. The chess board style floors to the silver washed pillars and the crystal clean appearance look like a picture in a frame.

Enormous bell towers, enchanting design and architectural perfection have bestowed the structure a status of a national monument.
