The small convent dedicated to St. Filippo stands out on the road of the same name, South-East of the city. The current name would date back to a subsequent period. In fact, the original structure of the 15th century was renowned as Santa Maria delle Grazie (Holy Mary of Grace).
According to tradition, the original core of the convent was built to shield the miraculous image of the Virgin on the wall of an old hospital. The modern structure is attributable to the Friars who were assigned to it around 1660.
The facade has been changed over time. In the 18th century, it was even split in two to build a wall of the convent which could link the church with the convent itself.
Though cramped, the entrance gate keeps its elegance and majesty with Renaissance and Manneristic shapes: a stone made copy of the Vergine delle Grazie fresco by Giovanni di Orvieto stands out on the gable.
The right side along the road is adorned with Corinthian lesenes and at the back, around the apse, a corridor linking the choir of the Church with the adjacent convent was made.
