Santi Cosma e Damiano
(Click on any photo to see a larger version)Cloister
The entrance opens into a long corridor, formerly part of the Franciscan cloister built by Luigi Arrigucci. The cloister is a cool spot with simple architecture. The courtyard is paved in cobbles, with an X in irregular paving slabs meeting at a Baroque fountain embellished with sculptures of horses. The basin contains goldfish.

The entrance to the church is in the top left hand corner, and by this are wall frescoes in the cloister walk by Francesco Allegrini (first half of the 17th century). These depict Stories from the life of St. Francis of Assisi and other saints of the order.
