The Old Capuchin Convent
Descrizione
The Old Capuchin Convent, at Viale Margherita 41 in Ragusa Ibla, is a significant example of 17th century convent architecture. Founded according to the rule of the Capuchin Friars Minor, the complex has a simple and sober structure, with a cloister, monastic cells and spaces dedicated to prayer and community life. The façade and interior reflect the austere spirituality of the order, without excessive decoration. Situated in a panoramic position, the convent is surrounded by green areas and offers a suggestive view of the lower part of Ragusa Ibla. Recently restored, today it hosts cultural events, exhibitions and workshops, contributing to the enhancement of the historical and religious heritage of the city. It represents an important link between the monastic tradition and Ragusa’s contemporary cultural life.
