Abstract
King Robert of Naples and his wife Queen Sancha of Majorca, attracted by theFranciscan religiousness, founded three monastic complexes in the port city, among them wasSt. Clare. In 1310 started the construction of the church and the monastery of Friars Minor. In1312 the Queen authorized its union with the convent of the nuns of the Order of St. Clare, sothe monks could take care of the administration of the sacraments and other spiritual servicesto the nuns. Thus St. Clare turned into a monastery and a convent at the same time. During17th and 18th centuries the Franciscan complex “competed” in sumptuousness with the rest ofthe churches in the city, for this reason it was equipped with a wealthy heritage wherein therewas no lack of tissues and embroideries, characterized by the reality and creative freedomtypical of its time.
