The Convent de Le Celle is a 13th-century Franciscan Convent located in Le Celle, just outside Cortona, region of Tuscany, Italy. It is also referred to as the Convento delle Celle or Eremo Le Celle. A small hermitage was erected here in circa 1211 or 1221, and it briefly housed St Francis of Assisi himself in his lifetime. In 1235, Brother Elias of Cortona, Minister general of the Franciscans at the death of the founder, erected a sanctuary, refectory and five monk cells (rooms) of similar size to the one that Francis himself had used. Monks remained at the site for nearly a century, then the monastery was almost abandoned.

Monks remained at the site for nearly a century, then the monastery was almost abandoned. The structures passed to the parish and were occupied by the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin monks in 1537, who dedicated the church to the St Michael Archangel. This order was dedicated to a more eremitic lifestyle befitting this rural site. In 1634, the church was rededicated to St Antony of Padua. From 1804 to 1811, the Napoleonic government expelled the monks. They returned later in the 19th century. The rustic stone buildings nestle in terraces on a mountain-side with a Holly Oak and cypress grove. The main convent is accessed through a stone pedestrian bridge spanning a small spring stream. The church has a few ancient works, but many of the present artwork is modern. The Capuchin order is presently associated with the site, and manages the site as a rustic retreat for visitors interested in prayer and mediation. (en)

  • O Convento de Le Celle é um convento franciscano do século XIII localizado em Le Celle, nos arredores de Cortona, região da Toscana, Itália. Também é conhecido como Convento delle Celle ou Eremo Le Celle. Um pequeno eremitério foi erguido aqui por volta de 1211 ou 1221, e abrigou por um breve período o próprio São Francisco de Assis em sua vida. Em 1235, o irmão Elias de Cortona, ministro geral dos franciscanos por ocasião da morte do fundador, erigiu um santuário, refeitório e cinco celas (quartos) de tamanho semelhante ao que o próprio Francisco havia usado. Os monges permaneceram no local por quase um século, depois o mosteiro foi quase abandonado. As estruturas passaram para a paróquia e foram ocupadas pela Ordem dos Frades Menores Capuchinhos em 1537, que dedicou a igreja ao Arcanjo São Miguel. Esta encomenda foi dedicada a um estilo de vida mais eremítico adequado a este local rural. Em 1634, a igreja foi rededicada a Santo Antônio de Pádua. De 1804 a 1811, o governo napoleônico expulsou os monges. Eles voltaram no final do século XIX. As construções rústicas de pedra aninham-se em terraços na encosta de uma montanha com azevinho e cipreste. O acesso ao convento principal é feito através de uma ponte pedonal de pedra que atravessa um pequeno riacho. A igreja tem algumas obras antigas, mas muitas das obras presentes são modernas. A ordem dos Capuchinhos está atualmente associada ao local e administra o local como um retiro rústico para visitantes interessados em oração e mediação. (pt)
