Santissima Trinità, Franciscan convent in Santa Fiora, Italy.
Santissima Trinità is a Franciscan convent on Monte Calvo within a forest setting, featuring a baroque church with three ornate altars and detailed architectural elements. The entire complex integrates religious architecture with its surrounding natural landscape.
Construction was commissioned in 1488 by Count Guido Sforza but the building lay in ruins for centuries. Major baroque reconstruction in 1762 transformed the structure into its present form.
The name reflects the Trinity, a central theme throughout the chapel and its spiritual purpose. Visitors can observe religious artworks that shaped the devotional life at this place.
The convent sits on a forested mountain, so visitors should expect some walking and natural surroundings. Spring and summer are best for visiting when paths are most accessible and weather is favorable.
A stone fountain made of peperino stone sits at the southern edge of the complex and is part of the convent's original water system. The adjoining Santo Stefano chapel is managed by the local diocese, showing how the site remains integrated into the regional religious network.
