Mont-St-Michel is located on the island of Mont-Tombe (Tomb on the
Hill) off the coast of Normandy. It began as an abbey built during the 8th century. In 1017 work began on a Romanesque church
built over the abbey. A monastery built on three levels was added during the early 13th century. In medieval times,
the monastery was renowned as a center for learning. As you roll the mouse over the image, click on the
