[[File:Zw-assassin-sanctuary-1.png|thumb|400px|The Sanctuary from its entrance.]]<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

*[[Darius]]<br />
*[[Wei Yu]]<br />
*Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad<br />
*[[Amunet]]<br />
*[[Iltani]]<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*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.<br />
*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]]''.<br />
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood'', Ezio and the villagers of Monteriggioni used a secret exit located behind one of the Master Assassin statues to escape the Siege of Monteriggioni.<br />
*In ''Assassin's Creed: 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.<br />
*On Lucy's computer, screenshots from [[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]] can be seen.<br />
*Desmond Miles, through the Bleeding Effect, also witnessed a much older Ezio in the Sanctuary, looking at the statues of the great Assassins.<br />
