convent of Aracoeli
Rome, Italy
The Convent of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, also called Convent of Aracoeli and formerly known as Convent of Santa Maria in Capitolio, was a historic monastic complex of medieval origin in Rome, Italy, which first belonged to the Order of Saint Benedict and then to the Franciscans. Located on the Capitolium, next to the basilica of the same name, it was demolished in 1886 during the construction of the Vittoriano, after a history of more than a millennium. In the same period, another Franciscan convent was built next to the staircase, bearing the same name but much smaller than the historical one. The only remnant of the convent is the 16th-century loggia located on the right side of the basilica at the end of a staircase, with the portico giving access from the basilica.
