Old complex on the Sant'Antonio ai Monti steps, above the Quartieri Spagnoli, once called Santa Maria del Monte.

Climbing the steps of the same name, above the Quartieri Spagnoli, we find Sant'Antonio ai Monti, long known as Santa Maria del Monte. The earliest descriptions record it as served by the Conventual Franciscans, above the "pertuso", the tunnel that crossed the hill.The monastery later passed to the Spanish Mercedarians. Getting there is an experience in itself: the steps lead us through the highest alleys of the district, with glimpses of the city.
