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 the next hideout for [[Desmond|Desmond Miles]] and the other modern Assassins, after the [[Hideout|first one]] was assaulted by [[Abstergo]] at the end of ''Assassin's Creed II''. However since the Sanctuary has no power, Desmond must first [[Free Running|free run]] around [[Modern Times|modern day]] [[Monteriggioni]] to reroute power to it.

==Statues==

*[[Qulan Gal]]
*[[Darius]]
*[[Wei Yu]]
*Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad
*[[Amunet]]
*[[Iltani]]
*[[Leonius]]

==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.
*You can examine all the statues except Altaïr's. Additionally, the face of the statue of Altaïr surprisingly looks nothing like Altaïr's face in ''[[Assassin's Creed]]''. This - combined with the strong resemblance between Altaïr, Ezio and Desmond - may imply that the Animus is rendering Desmond's face onto his ancestors.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', Ezio and the villagers of Monteriggioni used a secret exit located behind Altaïr's statue to escape the Siege of Monteriggioni.
*In ''Brotherhood'', [[Lucy Stillman]] and Desmond Miles freerun through the underground tunnels to reach the Sanctuary, to set it up as a new base. It's within these tunnels that Desmond, through his suffering of the [[Bleeding Effect]], witnesses Ezio Auditore and some of Monteriggioni's villagers escape [[Cesare Borgia]]'s guards.
*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, but when viewed from the outside, it seems undamaged.
*Desmond Miles, through the [[Bleeding Effect]], also witnessed a much older Ezio return to the Sanctuary, and look at the statues of the great Assassins.
