Vestal virgins were in charge of maintaining the Vesta temple sacred flame burning. They served for 30 years after that they were allowed to marry, loose chastity and received a ton of money.

Vestal virgins were the"supermodels" of the Ancient Rome

Do you see the similarity with medieval convents designs ? If no, look from above.

Não sobrou muito do edifício, mas a história do local e das pessoas que o frequentavam o torna especial. Só as virgens que mantinham o fogo de Roma aceso e o imperador podiam entrar lá.
