A '''monastery''' is a building or structure or a series of buildings and structures that are set apart from regular civilization for religious commune. [[Monks]] are the usual inhabitants and live in such structures after taking specific vows. During the [[Middle Ages]] monastic institutions helped to preserve writings from [[antiquity]] that would otherwise have been lost.
