This church of an ancient monastery of the XIII century was remodeled between 1482 and 1492 by Giuliano da Sangallo.
After passing through the Renaissance quadrangle, you reach the church.
The interior, with a single nave, is lined with chapels decorated in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The capella Maggiore contains scenes from the life of Mary Magdalene by Luca Giordano. In the chapter house with its very random hours, Perugino painted a beautiful crucifixion.
