Description
San Francesco di Paola's Church . The church was founded in the 16th century, together with a no longer existing convent. It is currently used by the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy. There is a notable altar-piece depicting the appearance of the Annunciaton to San Biagio vescovo and San Francesco di Paola above the high altar. There is a late 18th century painting of Santa Chiara of Assisi causing the Saracens to retreat from Orbetello, interesting largely for its historical subject.
