The Chapter Hall was intended for the meeting of the brothers. The recent restoration has revealed the two columns placed at the center of the room. On the top right wall has a central door flanked by two three-light windows with double columns and Gothic arches that allow you to enjoy a magnificent view of the cloister and the convent of the Trinity, now seat of the Archivio di Stato.
