minster (church), monastery
Designed by Galeazzo Alessi in the 16 th century for the nuns of Santa Giuliana, it was then taken over by the Benedictines of Santa Caterina Vecchia, who settled here in 1649. It became partial state property in the 1800s, before becoming the headquarters of the Saffa match factory in 1902. In the church are frescoes (1718) and paintings by Mattia Batini and Benedetto Bandiera, as well as a 17 th century marble tabernacle. A section of the monastery is currently occupied by a cloistered religious order.
