Santa Chiara Monastery, Medieval monastery in Camerino, Italy.
The Santa Chiara Monastery stands outside the old city walls, featuring a church, living quarters, and a refectory with original frescoes from the 16th century.
Founded in 1384 as Santa Maria Nova for Olivetan monks, the monastery was transformed in 1483 by Giulio Cesare da Varano for Clarissan nuns.
The monastery holds manuscripts, religious texts, and artistic works, including a painting in Perugino style and frescoes by Giovanni di Corraduccio.
The monastery complex includes guest accommodations for 45 visitors across two buildings and maintains regular visiting hours except during prayer times.
The monastery contains the remains of Saint Camilla Battista da Varano, who lived there for forty years before her canonization in 2010.
