Chiesa di Santa Maria Maddalena delle Convertite
The Church of the Convertite was founded in the 16th century with an Augustinian convent, running an institute for the "Convertite", mostly former prostitutes. The converts learned to read, sew and weave, as well as recite psalms and devotions. The complex was abolished by Napoleonic decrees in 1806. A military prison was set up in the convent, which was later transformed by Francesco Giuseppe into a prison for women in 1837.
