Halfway up the mountain leading to the Sacra di San Michele is the Convent of Saint Francis, known as Certosa1515. It is built around a church, consecrated in 1521, and still retains part of frescoes to the early sixteenth century, whose iconography reflects the centrality of the figure of the Virgin had in the theological conception of the founder, the Blessed Tommaso Illirico.
