The Convent of St Mary of Loreto is located in the highest part of the town, in a pleasant and panoramic position. Built in 1592 by the brotherhood of the same name, it was entrusted to the Friars Minor Observant. The Cardinal of Benevento Orsini loved to stay there, who, once he became Pope Benedict XIII (1724), gave the convent a large canvas of the Madonna of Loreto, bearing the date 1727, as a gift in memory of his stay.
