Lonely Planet review

This fortified convent is dedicated to four Christian sculptors killed by Diocletian for refusing to make a statue of a pagan god. The squat bell tower dates to the 9th century but the main complex was built in the early 12th. The most famous feature is the Cappella di San Silvestro and its well-preserved 13th-century frescoes of St Sylvester and Constantine. Off the northern aisle is a pretty early-1300s cloister and garden (ring the bell).
