The Sala Capitolare of twelve meters of length and sixteen of width was the meeting place of the community. In the center are two stocky columns supporting six cross vaults.
Two round and two double lancet windows with valuable romanesque decorations in marble and red brick supply the lighting and overlook the remains of the cloister, that are little but are enough making an idea of the beauty.
A lanced portal introduces to the
upper floor with the dormitories of the monks. Next to the Chaper Hall
is the Scriptorium, the place destined to the prayer and the
intellectual jobs, wide, with many windows and divided in two naves by
five cruciform pillars.
