Ursuline convent

Are they still giving tours at Ursuline Convent? I thought I heard that they substained some roof damage in the storm and the tours were not being offered. Any idea??

They recently had a major Vatican Mosaic Exposition there so I%26#39;m sure the roof is repaired...Don%26#39;t know about actual tours.

They were doing tours during the exposition, they may still be doing them now.

I called and the tours run between 9AM and 4PM on all days except Mondays.

Thanks guys. Thereis someone in our group that really wants to take a tour of the convent.

Well, it%26#39;s not really a convent any more, for afew centuries:) The main floor is a halway and several public rooms. Recently dedicated to the mosaic display. Before, they did a short slide show with a tour guide, then you saw a few rooms with a few museum-type displays, and then a pek at the attached chapel. All very nice, of course. The uppr two floors are not open to the public -- diocese archives and offices.

Depending on how much you wish to see some rooms, and another white gilded chapel ..... it looks better from the outside, view of the building and front garden. Look through the gates. But then, I may be jaded.
