L'abbazia di Santa Maria di Maniace (chiamata anche Ducea di Nelson, Castello di Nelson e Ducea di Maniace) è un edificio che si trova al confine fra i comuni di Bronte e Maniace, in provincia di Catania. Fu fondata dalla regina Margherita di Navarra, sposa di Guglielmo I di Sicilia, nel XII secolo. Venne donata in perpetuo insieme al feudo (15.000 ettari di superficie) nel 1799 dal re Ferdinando I delle Due Sicilie all'ammiraglio inglese Horatio Nelson per gratitudine di aver represso la cosiddetta Repubblica partenopea salvandogli la vita e il regno. Oggi il complesso è stato musealizzato.
