San Tommaso Secondary Office

San Tommaso

 

         The secondary premises of the Record Office are used solely for storing materials and are located on Via delle Carceri, in the building that was the San Tommaso district prison until just a few years ago. It is within the former grounds of the Corpus Domini convent for nuns, which the Abbot Filippo Zoboli had built between 1466 and 1472, along with its church.

         It was unified with the San Tommaso convent behind it in 1783 (hence the seemingly unfitting name of the prison) and then closed in 1796. The church was demolished around 1870.

         All that remains of the old construction today is the terracotta decoration of the boundary walls.
