Saint Radegonda monastery, Benedictine monastery in Milan, Italy

The Santa Radegonda monastery complex included four cloisters and featured a double church containing numerous religious artifacts and sacred spaces.

Founded in the 7th century as Santa Maria di Vigilinda, the monastery received its dedication to Saint Radegonda in 1130 during a significant papal power struggle.

In the 17th century, the monastery nuns gained recognition throughout Italy for their musical abilities, establishing themselves as leading performers in the region.

The monastery underwent partial demolition in 1781, and its location now corresponds to the modern Via Santa Radegonda in central Milan.

The monastery preserved notable relics, including a reported fragment of the True Cross and a thorn from the Crown of Thorns.
