The church of Santa Elisabetta delle Convertite is an old church on via de’ Serragli in Florence Italy now Georgian Orthodox. The church was built in 1330 as part of a monastery founded in 1285 by a brother of Beata Umiliana de’ Cerchi. The monastery was intended to house penitent prostitutes who had decided to convert to a more moral lifestyle as a plaque on via del Campuccio on the wall of the former convent declares. The monastery belonged to the third order of Franciscans.
