Attached to the Church of St. Francis of Paola there is the Convent of the Minimi, completed under the provincial father Francesco Antonio De Angelis in 1798, as reported by a date engraved on an arc. The building, on two floors with a pavilion roof, is a typical monastic architecture, consisting of fourteen large rooms. The Council Chamber retains the large canvas of Domenico Purified, depicting the emigration. The entrance, highlighted by a beautiful portal, leads directly into the arm of the cloister, characterized by round arches. The Convent is now the Town Hall.
