Chiesa di Santa Maria della Carit\u00e0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Chiesa di Santa Maria della Carit\u00e0 or the church of the Buon Pastore is a Baroque-style Roman Catholic church. Construction of the original church started in 1481. A wealthy man, Laura Gambara – erected the church, a monastery, and a convent to shelter fallen women or prostitutes. In 1640, construction of a new church began. The new church is also known as Church of the Good Shepherd. It was ruled until 1998 by the adjacent monastery with the same name. If you look at the outside, you would never imagine what a remarkable baroque overload awaits you inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
