San Paolo Converso

San Paolo Converso features a single nave with a barrel-vaulted ceiling and contains two separate areas divided by a wall for public worship and nuns.

The church construction started in 1549 under Countess Ludovica Torelli's patronage, who sold her fiefdom to fund the church and monastery for Angelical nuns.

The interior walls display paintings by Cremonese artists, including works from Giulio, Antonio, and Vincenzo Campi depicting religious scenes and narratives.

The building now functions as a contemporary art space managed by Fondazione Converso, hosting exhibitions, events, and performances throughout the year.

Following its deconsecration in 1808, the church served multiple purposes, including a warehouse and a concert hall before its current cultural function.
