Monastery's and their locations

While in Italy we stayed in a Monastery, without firstly thinking about where and why they existed in the first place. Monastery's are places of worship, in isolation from the town folk - thus they are located high uphills and mountains of Italy and so do not have large bags - back packs are what is required as there are  often 8,000 step to get to your bed each night!!
