Our Relais in an ancient cloister in the heart of Rome
Le Clarisse in Trastevere is situated in an ancient building dating back to 1122 and once housing a cloister belonging to the holy order of Le Clarisse. It is located in the lively Trastevere area in the heart of Rome with easy access to all the wonderful sights of the city.
Le Clarisse
The history of the building that houses the Le Clarisse – and gives it its name – dates back to ancient times. The structure was an annexe of the Church of the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste in Armenia and St. Pasquale Baylon, located in Via San Francesco a Ripa at the intersection with Via delle Fratte di Trastevere, in which the refectory and oratory were situated.
The earliest documents recording the existence of the church date back to 1122, when it was built at the behest of Pope Callistus II. The church was later rebuilt by the Discalced Friars Minor who incorporated the oratory that now houses the Le Clarisse into the project, which at the time was the site of the convent of the Order of Saint Clare (the Clarisses).
