One of the city’s major religious sites, this monastery was founded in 1964 and is home to Benedictine nuns from the Santa Maria Abbey. The Romanesque-style building stands out for its burnt-brick arches and understated decor. The complex also includes a chapel, an inner garden, and a shop that sells religious artifacts and handmade goods made by the nuns.
