The Abbey of San Mercuriale (Italian: Abbazia di San Mercuriale) is the main religious building located in the Italian city of Forlì. It was located on the central square, near the Palazzo Comunale.
In 1488, after speaking with one of the monks of the abbey, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze was able to learn the identity of the nine-fingered monk who had stolen the Apple of Eden.
Prior to Lorenzo de' Medici's death, he assigned assassination contracts to Ezio from a pigeon coop situated on the roof behind the abbey's tower.
