Abstract
The symbolism that associates the monastery with an urban organism is inherent to its community dimension. Since its origins, monasticism has had a strong spatial component, linked on the one hand to the residence of the individual monk. The dialectic between these two dimensions (individual and community) reflects the intertwining between the hermitage and the monastery: The Renaissance treatise writers grasped these characteristics of functional self-sufficiency, harmony of the parts and internal coherence. The paper aims to investigate this parallelism
