Mustair (Müstair) combines a secluded Alpine setting with an international cultural legacy in a way that reflects its position in the Romansh-speaking Val Müstair near the Italian border. The River Rom follows the valley floor beneath the eastern Swiss Alps, in a region shaped by farming, mountain routes and the Romansh language. Its defining monument is the Benedictine Convent of St John, a UNESCO World Heritage site whose church preserves an exceptional cycle of Carolingian wall paintings. Founded in the early Middle Ages, the convent remains an active religious community and gives this small settlement a place in European art history.
