The convent of the Inviolata was built at the request of the Madruzzo family between 1615 and 1616 next to the church of the Inviolata in Riva del Garda. For centuries the convent was home to the Hieronymites and then the Franciscans. In 1870 it was bought by the Municipality of Riva del Garda and used as a girls' school; it was abandoned in 1964.
Thanks to a restoration that began in 2010 and ended in 2023, it is now possible to visit the cloister of the convent.
The structure is of value: it consists of three buildings with a central cloister. On the porticoed quadrangular cloisters, it is still possible to observe 19 frescoed lunettes with scenes depicting episodes from the life of St Jerome painted in 1675 by Giovanni Antonio Italiani.
Admission and visits to the Convent are free and open to the public.
Throughout the summer, as part of the "Il Museo nella città" series, guided tours (in Italian only) will be organized by the Museo Alto Garda.
