Monastero di San Clemente, Religious monastery in Prato, Italy.

The monastery encompasses a public church with a sixteenth-century structure, multiple altars, and extensive walnut stalls designed by Giovan Battista Ronchini in 1589.

Founded in 1515 by thirteen Benedictine nuns from San Michele, the monastery joined the Dominican order in 1520 and underwent transformation into a Conservatory for girls in 1785.

The main altar displays a Sacred Conversation from 1535 by Fra Paolino, while the monastic choir contains numerous paintings from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Access to the cloistered monastery remains restricted to specific areas, with public visits permitted only during designated occasions throughout the year.

The former refectory now functions as a small theater, featuring a preserved large fresco by Alessio Gimignani depicting the Wedding at Cana from 1598.
