Monumental complex of San Matteo degli infermi, Medieval architectural complex in Spoleto, Italy.

The complex includes a cloister with two floors of loggias supported by columns and arches, plus a former church and state archive building.

Founded in 1227 by the Penitent Friars, the structure initially served as a monastery before transforming into a hospital that operated until 1939.

During the 1970s and 1980s, a section of the building housed the scenography laboratory for the Festival dei Due Mondi performances.

The State Archives section of Spoleto occupies part of the complex since 1991, maintaining historical documents for public access.

In 1798, French occupying forces converted the monastery into a military hospital with one hundred beds for their troops.
