Three sanctuaries belong to the abbey:
- the church of Saint Paul of Three Fountains, built on the site where Saint Paul was beheaded
- Our Lady of Martyrs, erected over the relics of Saint Zeno and his legionaries
- the church and monastery of Saints Vincent and Anastasius, dating from 626, when it was given to the Benedictines
