Initially built at the beginning of the 16th century, the complex consists of eighteen chapels, each containing significant representations of the Life and Passion of Christ created in polychrome terracotta. These scenes collectively reproduce the appearance of the city of Jerusalem. Since its creation, the place has been the object of substitute pilgrimages to the Holy Land, thanks also to the indulgences granted by Pope Leo X. In the former barn of the convent there is a permanent exhibition dedicated to the history and images of Sacro Monte di San Vivaldo.
