MAD Murate art District is located in the monumental complex of the Murate, in a quadrilateral between via Ghibellina, via dell’Agnolo and viale della Giovine Italia.
The complex, owned by the municipality, includes the former 15th century monastery transformed into a prison from 1883 to 1985, divided into two squares: Piazza delle Murate, and Piazza della Madonna della Neve, divided by Via delle Vecchie Carceri, and the Chapel of the Madonna della Neve. MAD – Murate Art District is located in the spaces of the old convent, it is articulated on 3 floors, and guards the Carcere Duro, a pulsating testimony of the Resistance operated by the fathers of the Republic during the Fascist period.

The centre is open from tuesday to saturday from 2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Last entrance 7 pm. Closed for public holidays.
