The '''Sanctuary''' is a location in both ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' and ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''. It was created by [[Domenico Auditore]] as a tribute to the greatest [[Assassins]] in history, and is found underneath the [[Auditore Family Villa]], with its entrance concealed behind a tall bookcase in [[Mario Auditore]]'s study. It is revealed by Mario to his nephew [[Ezio|Ezio Auditore]] as the game progresses.

It houses seven statues of seven [[Master Assassin]]s. Six of these statues are missing [[Assassin's Seal|seals]] that must be collected to unlock the gate blocking way to the seventh statue that is of none other than [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] himself, which holds the indestructible set of [[Altaïr's Armor|armor]] made by Altaïr centuries before.

In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', the Sanctuary serves as an escape route for Ezio, his family, and some surviving townspeople. They escape through a passageway behind the statue of Altaïr. Desmond and Lucy travel that same path later to open the secret door behind a bookcase in order for Rebecca and Shaun to gain access to the hideout. The modern Assassins use the Sanctuary as refuge after the first hideout was assaulted by [[Abstergo]] at the end of ''Assassin's Creed II''. However since the Sanctuary has no electricity, Desmond must first [[Free Running|free run]] around [[Modern Times|modern day]] [[Monteriggioni]] to reroute electricity to the sanctuary.

==Trivia==
*The circular grate in the courtyard at the back of the Auditore Family Villa is actually the top of the Sanctuary, which allows light in.
*In ''Assassin's Creed II'', you can examine all the statues except Altaïr's, and gain information about the Assassin. In ''Brotherhood'', only the statue of Altaïr may be interacted with, resulting in a "racist" joke that involves Desmond using stereotypic modern Italian speech.
*Surprisingly, the face of the statue of Altaïr looks nothing like Altaïr's face in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''.
*This secret exit is present in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', however, it is blocked by a pile of logs.
*In ''Brotherhood'', one of Lucy's computers in the Sanctuary displays the Memory menu from ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''.
*In ''Brotherhood'', though the grate at the top of the Sanctuary appears broken from the inside, when viewed from the outside, it seems undamaged.
*Desmond Miles, through the [[Bleeding Effect]], witnessed a much older Ezio return to the Sanctuary, and looked at the statues of great [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Master_Assassin Master Assassins] .
*The design of the Sanctuary bears an structural resemblance to the Roman Pantheon.
