Title A name given to the resource The Medieval San Cosimato Portico Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Shaylin Nguyen (2016) Edited by Julia Tassava (2026) Description An account of the resource Near the Piazza S. Cosimato, a medieval portico juts out from the sides of a nondescript building. The portico leads to the outdoor atrium of the church of San Cosimato, a part of the former Monastery of San. Cosimato. It began as a Benedictine house for males in the tenth century, and then in the early thirteenth century Pope Gregory IX--a good friend of Francis--gave the complex to the Clares, an order of Franciscan nuns. In Rome there were only three female Franciscan convents, and San Cosimato was the most important. The façade is from the twelfth century, and can be identified as medieval by its incorporation of multiple arches and its use of long and thin bricks. The columns that support the arch are spoils from Roman antiquity, which was common in medieval structures. Since the 900s the complex has been continuously used and built upon (and around). The former monastery was converted in the 19th century to the Hospital Nuova Regina Margherita. Abstract A summary of the resource. Near the Piazza S. Cosimato, there is a medieval portico that unlike its modern surroundings juts out from the sides of an almost nondescript building.
