Dopo la zona delle vigne c'è un vecchio convento benedettino in una piccola cittadina chiamata Ancarano. Nel IX secolo, un santuario dedicato ad un martire di Trieste, Santo Apollinario, fu costruito su iniziativa del vescovo di Trieste. Duecento anni dopo, nel 1072 il convento fu donato ai benedettini. Attualmente è un albergo, con un bellissimo parco sul mare.After the zone with the grapevines there is an old Benedictine Convent, in a little city called Ankaran.
In the 9th century, a sanctuary dedicated to a martyr of Trieste, Saint Apollinarius, was built on the initiative of the bishop of Trieste. Two hundred years later (in 1072) the bishop of Trieste Adalger, donated this church with all its possessions to the Benedictine monastery of Saint Nicholas in Venice. Actually it is an hotel, with a beautiful pask on the seashore.
