The convent and the church of Santa Chiara date back to the early seventeenth century.
It lost the monastery function in 1804 when the French of Napoleon drove the nuns away.
Since then it has hosted the Oratory of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary, the orphanage, the Episcopal See and the City Hall.
Only the convent remains as the church was destroyed by bombing during the Second World War.
