Overview

Built in the 12th Century as a complex that included a church, a monastery and a hospital, this building was transformed into a hospice in the 15th Century. The interior was decorated by Palma il Giovane at the end of the 16th Century. The painted cycle tells the story of the crusaders and their hospital, of the Oratory as a hospital church and of the Oratory services. The Oratory is located opposite the Jesuit Church.
