Convent
The Convent of St. Peter Alli Marmi is a rectangular building with three levels and features an internal cloister as a central component. The cloister is surrounded by three buildings and the body of the church. Through the main entrance one reaches a vestibule, through which the cloister can be accessed.

The main facade is elevated compared to the current road level and encompasses a two-storey central body with an arched portal. At the ends of the main facade an additional floor exists that correspond the lateral bodies of the complex.

The ground floor is characterized by a covered porch with cross vaults, supported by round arches with stone archivolts, upheld by square pillars.

The cells of the first floor have a view at the internal cloister and are connected by a corridor with barrel vaults. The second floor follows a similar planimetric distribution.

For the construction of the vertical structures tuff and mixed masonry have been used. The facade is finished with smooth plaster. Wooden trusses have been used for the construction of the attics and the roof substructure. The roof is covered in barrel-shaped tiles.
