Convento di Santa Caterina, Gothic former convent in Finalborgo, Italy.

The Convento di Santa Caterina features stone columns, Gothic portals, and two Renaissance cloisters constructed between 1500 and 1530 within its complex.

Founded in 1359 by the Del Carretto family, the convent housed Dominican friars until 1802 when Napoleonic laws led to the suppression of religious orders.

The church contains fresco cycles from the early 1400s depicting scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary on its interior walls.

The structure now houses the Museo Archeologico del Finale, which presents archaeological exhibitions and hosts regular conferences for visitors.

Two distinct Gothic portals on the southern side, named the Portal of Women and Portal of Men, display Del Carretto family coats of arms.
