The convent was built around 1468 by the Dominican fathers of Pistoia, on the site where the ancient church of Santa Maria Maddalena once stood, mentioned in a document from 1284. Used as a hermitage until 1784, it was later sold to the Tolomei family, who turned it into a private chapel. Returned to the Dominicans in 1928, it was eventually abandoned. The complex includes an oratory with a single-storey residence and a loggia with eight arches supported by stone columns. Inside, a late 15th-century fresco of the Madonna with two kneeling Dominican Saints is preserved.
