The Convent of the Minimal Franciscans in Altomonte represents an emblematic example of monastic architecture, characterized by a two-story building with a hipped roof. Its entrance, adorned with an elegant portal of fine workmanship, is cleverly off-center toward the nearby church, creating a strong visual and spiritual link between the two places. Through a covered hallway, visitors can directly access the cloister arm, a place that once housed the contemplative life of the friars. Today, the convent, which is owned by the municipality, has taken on a new function as the Town Hall, thus integrating the historicity of the site with the modern administrative life of Altomonte and helping to keep alive the memory of a past rich in religious and community values.
