As some may recall, behind the sacristy of Santa Maria sopra Minerva is the "room of St. Catherine", the "room" where she died. Technically, however, that room is a *relocation* (wow) of the room that she died in, in an attempt to preserve the room's walls and frescoes for pilgrims etc. Catherine actually died in a building not far from Santa Maria sopra Minerva, across from the church of Santa Chiara (the building itself is now a theater I guess). The actual room itself is only available to visit once a year, I understand, on her feast day. This is a photo of the exterior of the building, the only marker that there is to tell you what is inside.
