Lonely Planet review

Designed by Palladio in the late 16th century, the Chiesa di Santa Maria della Presentazione, known as the Zitelle, was a church and hospice for poor young women ( zitelle means 'old maids', which is presumably what many of them remained). It is now used for conferences and is only sporadically open.
