Convento di San Bernardino, Franciscan convent in Trento, Italy.

The religious complex includes two cloisters, a sixteenth-century villa, and stands on Belvedere San Francesco hill with views over Trento.

Originally built in 1452 near Ghiaie area, the convent was relocated and reconstructed between 1690 and 1694 after floods from Fersina stream destroyed it.

The convent library preserves 200,000 volumes, including 25,000 antique editions predating the nineteenth century, housed in an eighteenth-century hall.

The church section remains open to visitors, while other areas serve as Provincial Historical Archive and host various administrative offices.

The Madruzzo Tower, integrated into the convent structure, received funding of 2,500 florins from Count Theodor Heinrich von Strattmann for its acquisition.
