Città della Pieve. The Clarisse Monastery

The Clarisse Monastery in Città della Pieve is one of the oldest monasteries of the cloistered nuns of Clarisse.

It was formed when Santa Chiara was still living as witnessed by the foundation bull of Innocent IV issued August 9, 1252.

The grand parchment of the bull is kept in the sacristy of the church monastery.

The convent is surrounded by a high wall along which runs an avenue of oaks called Park of Remembrance.

It is still inhabited by thirty Clarisse Nuns.
