Discovering the Serenity of Cloisters: A Journey Through History and Architecture
A cloister is a covered walkway or open gallery, typically surrounded by buildings on all sides, often found in religious communities such as monasteries and convents. It provides a peaceful and sheltered space for monks or nuns to move about, engage in activities, and enjoy the outdoors while remaining within the confines of the cloistered area. The term "cloister" can also refer to the entire enclosed courtyard and its surrounding buildings, which serve as a self-contained unit for religious life.
