Institute of Santa Chiara

The complex was founded in the 16th century, when the monastery of San Salvatore was incorporated, which underwent significant expansion after 1557.

More information :

The Church of Santa Chiara and the adjoining convent are located on Via San Giuliano in Castiglion Fiorentino. The complex was founded in the 16th century, when the monastery of San Salvatore was incorporated, which underwent significant expansion after 1557.

In 1781, following a significant renovation funded by the Tuscan government, the convent became home to a new educational conservatory, established by Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor.

The church, built in 1560, stands on the site of an earlier oratory built in 1545 by the Compagnia del SS. Sacramento. In the following years, from 1736 onwards, embellishments were made, giving the church the appearance we admire today.

The complex also includes a small theater used for cultural events, including Mondovisioni.
