The route winds through three peaceful cloisters and a church with dazzling stained glass windows, witnesses to an extraordinary devotion. A true jewel of the Renaissance, the site allows one to grasp the entire political and artistic influence of this exceptional woman through the centuries. Paper guides in multiple languages, from Japanese to Portuguese, facilitate the understanding of every detail of this sentimental and historical epic.
