Corpus Domini Monastery, Gothic monastery in Ferrara, Italy
The Corpus Domini Monastery stands at 4 via Pergolato, featuring a public church adorned with late-Baroque decorations and frescoed ceilings.
Established in 1406 as a house for penitent women, the monastery transformed into a Poor Clares Observant Franciscan convent in 1431.
Saint Catherine of Bologna guided 100 women in spiritual formation at the monastery while creating religious artworks for the convent walls.
Visitors can access the monastery from Monday through Friday between 15:30 and 17:30, with entrance fees based on voluntary donations.
The monastery contains the burial chambers of notable Este family members, including Lucrezia Borgia, Eleonora d'Aragona, and Alfonso I d'Este.
