Cloister of St. Francis







The monastery dates back to the first half of the 18th century. Inside the cloister, on two side of the portico, the architecture presents crossed, tufo-stone arches in the style of the late 14th century, whereas on the other two sides there are round arches positioned on octagonal pilasters. In additional the three corner columns were originally pillaged from pagan temples.
