cellarium

The 13th-century cellarium also remains present today.

The largest surviving fragment of the range comprises a cellarium or storehouse where supplies were kept.

A building with a meetingroom (consistorium) and a basement (cellarium civitatits) is mentioned in 1322.

There are the remains of the North and South Transepts, the Choir, the Sanctuary and the Cellarium.

A cellarium (from the Latin cella, "pantry"), also known as an undercroft, was a storehouse or storeroom, usually in a medieval monastery or castle.

A Town Hall with a huge meeting room was firstly mentioned in a Real Estate book in 1322 as a "consistorium", which had a giant warehouse (cellarium civitatis) for that time.

Architecturally, San Giusto is a typical Cistercian monastery of the mid twelfth century, with a church, tower, cloister, chapter house, parlor, scriptorium, refectory, cellarium, and two dormitories for the monks and lay brothers respectively.

In the early 14th century, land was acquired for a cellarer's range (living and working quarters for the cellarer who was responsible for provisioning the abbey's cellarium), a brewhouse, a bakehouse, and a new walled vineyard.

It consisted of a church with the bell tower, a refectory, a dormitory, a chapter house, a central cloister area, as well as kitchens, a cellarium for food storage and outbuildings including stables, storage barns, worskshops and pigsties.

There are also plans for an education centre for children and a refectory in the cellarium, to be called the Cellarium Café, to provide improved refreshments for the million visitors who come to the abbey each year.

The photographs show the arched stone doorway to the medieval Cellarium area of the ruins, and appear to show a misty white figure.
