The Abbey, founded in the years between the 11th and 12th centuries, remained until 1304 a dependency of the Abbey of S. Benedetto in Polirone di Mantova. Only with the beginning of the fourteenth century the community of Praglia, consolidated and more firmly rooted in the Paduan environment, became completely autonomous by electing an abbot taken from the ranks of its monks.
Spectacular inside it remains a place to find oneself and to start an interior fireplace. The monks offer guided tours. There is also a small store with the products made by the monks themselves artigialmente. Many spices and natural remedies.
