The abbey church, the most dominating feature, is really lovely, inside and out, and well deserving of a visit. A further attraction is the excellent Scénovision Museum, which traces the history of the town and its environs.
Even today, the town is a favoured resting point for pilgrims walking the Route to Santiago de Compostela, and the pilgrims are a charming sight, often accompanied by doe-eyed donkeys in the traditional manner. The role of the donkey in pilgrim history is celebrated in Bénévent in the form of a small shop selling donkey memorabilia alongside products such as donkey milk.
