The History

Erected in the 17th Century (1621), The Convento of the Capuccini rise up in a dominant position above the picturesque Village of Tolfa.

​

It was designed by the Architect Fra Michele da Bergamo and built thanks to the financial support from the revenues of the Alunite mines owned by the Reverend Apostolic Chamber.

​

The Monastery have been developed around a wonderful Cloister completely handmade with Trachyte and Peperino stones extracted from the local caves.   

​

From 1694 to 1696 the Blessed San Crispino da Viterbo lived in the Convent and His cell still preserved from the Archeological authorities as a Votive Chapel.
