Convento di Certomondo, Romanesque convent in Poppi, Italy.

The Convento di Certomondo features a simple gabled facade with an oculus window and a trabeated portal topped by a round arch.

The convent was established in 1260 by Count Guido Novello Guidi of Poppi to commemorate the Ghibelline victory at the Battle of Montaperti.

The interior contains a 1465 Annunciation by Neri di Bicci and fourteenth-century frescoes, including a Madonna on the throne.

The religious spaces of the convent ceased operations in September 2023, though the complex maintains a reception house for groups.

Following the Battle of Campaldino, Bishop Guglielmino degli Ubertini was interred within the convent, while numerous fallen soldiers were buried nearby.
