Chiaravalle Abbey: Cistercian abbey in the eponymous district of Milan
The complex is accessed through a 16th-century tower commissioned by Louis XII of France; to the side there is an oratory dedicated to Saint Bernard which contains a fresco of Christ standing before Pilate, once attributed to Hieronymus Bosch but today assigned to the Swiss Hans Witz (also known as Johannes Sapidus), who was court painter in Milan during the rule of Galeazzo Maria Sforza.

In October 1134 Cistercian monks from Moiremont, near Dijon established themselves at Coronate, near Pieve di Abbiategrasso southwest of Milan, and founded a new abbey, whence the location was given, in 1871, the name of Morimondo.
