Convento delle Orsoline
The Ursuline Convent, built at the beginning of the fifteenth century, in Gothic style, is located near the Gate of the Ursulines, through which you access the city. In the past, it was home to customs where the goods were weighed and stored. The tower that overlooks this door is decorated with different images and coats of arms, the most important of which, probably the work of the painter Hans da Brunico, was partially damaged during the enlargement works of the arch of the door in 1758. The Ursuline Crypt is the oldest part of the whole convent building, and dates back to approx. 1410.
