Convento di Santa Maria ad Nives di Palazzolo, Gothic convent in Rocca di Papa, Italy.
The Santa Maria ad Nives di Palazzolo convent stands on the Alban Hills, overlooking Lake Albano with a Gothic architectural design and twin bell towers.
Founded in the 11th century as a Cluniac hermitage, the convent underwent major renovations in the 18th century under Bishop José Maria Ribeiro da Fonseca de Évora.
The convent maintains its religious function through the Venerable English College, which uses the premises for seminary students during summer periods.
The convent complex includes multiple structures surrounding a cloister with round arches, offering accommodations for religious students and retreat participants.
Between 1870 and 1910, the convent operated under Portuguese protection following negotiations between Italy and Portugal regarding ecclesiastical properties.
