Chiesa di San Francesco e Santa Chiara a Montughi

Parish church adjacent to the convent of the Capuchin friars of the Province of Tuscany.
The convent church, which was consecrated on October 15, 1623, is dedicated to St. Francis of Assisi. After successive enlargements, it owes its current form to the work carried out in 1955-56.

The convent, which originally developed around the single main cloister, still known today as “Bianca Cappello” (named after the woman who financed its construction), has undergone numerous and significant transformations and extensions over the centuries, due to the ever-increasing number of friars who lived there, until it reached its current form, which includes three cloisters.

The convent has an apothecary with a shop, a library, and houses numerous works of art.
