Built by the Benedictine nuns in 1382, it replaced a hostel for women that was called “delle repentutete” (former prostitutes). In the former church, the vault is frescoed by Cesare Sermei (1632). It preserves a small Renaissance cloister. Expropriated and claimed as State property after 1861, it underwent radical restoration works and today is seat to the Carabinieri headquarters (currently not open to the public).
