This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

A monastery is a type of religious site in the shape of a multi-floor rectangular building with engraved walls and statues scattered about. The engravings and statues are predominantly religious in nature, featuring the object of worship and the ascension of custom-named priests. At the bottommost floor pedestals are kept for storing artifacts.

In addition to the main sanctum, monasteries may contain several additional buildings spread around the site. Dining halls, warehouses, dormitories, and several shrines dedicated to the object of worship have been confirmed.

Monasteries may be the destinations of pilgrims, who travel there to see the site, or stop there on the way to a more prominent holy place. They are also populated by prophets.
