The Cistercian nunnery, founded in 1253 by order of Cardinal Giovanni da Toledo, underwent various alterations during the centuries. The church’s façade in pink and white marble and Gothic rose-window are original 14 th century. The church and capitular hall have preserved remains of the original painted decorations. The cloister, deemed to be Perugia’s finest, is attributed to Matteo di Gattapone (1376).
