Former Convent of the PP. Passionists - Sora (FR)


In Sora (Fr), at the foot of Monte Sant'Angelo, it stands, simple yet majestic, the convent of the Passionist Fathers.
Set in an extremely charming place, the entire complex of about 1.850 square meters, on three levels, is at the view of the visitor, surrounded by greenery, in a completely renowned quiet.
From the square in front it is possible to see one of the most picturesque views of the older part of the city, combined with the harmony of the surrounding countryside.
Definitely interesting, from an artistic point of view, it is also the ancient stone well, located in the loggia courtyard of the Convent, dating back to 1739, which is also very simple in the lines, but of undoubted suggestion.
It has a private park of about 1.7 hectares.
The property is in good condition, requiring only some renovations.

Historic details:
The construction of the church and the convent, which was carried out in the last years of the fifteenth century, ended in 1601. It was the illustrious historic Sorano Cardinal Cesare Baronio (1538-1607) to want the foundation: it took care of the building and with its munificence the church was built, while the Sorana population contributed with offers to the construction of the early convent entrusted to the Capuchin fathers.
The Capuchin Friars Minor, between 1810-1814, abandoned the dining area following the Napoleonic suppression of the religious orders. The Passionist Fathers took possession of it in 1842 and with their arrival the extensions necessary to welcome them were built.
From 1862 to 1866 the convent was required by the Piedmontese and forfeited in the property of the state property to be used as a military barn; from 1867 to 1896 the upper floor was used as a hospital.
