The Abbaye de Silvacane is a Cistercian abbey founded in 1175 and located near La Roque-d’Anthéron in Provence. It represents a significant example of Cistercian architecture, notable for its Romanesque church with Gothic additions made during the 13th century. The abbey experienced periods of prosperity and decline throughout its history, eventually being dissolved during the French Revolution.
