description Tre Fontane Abbey Overview
Tre Fontane Abbey is a Cistercian monastery located in Rome, situated at the traditional site of Saint Paul's martyrdom. The site is named for the three springs that are said to have emerged where the saint's head bounced after his execution. The Trappist community that manages the abbey cultivates eucalyptus trees, a practice introduced in the 19th century to mitigate malaria in the surrounding marshlands. The monks use the eucalyptus to produce liqueurs and herbal products sold on the premises.
