The paper presents the outcomes of geophysical exploration on the premises of the former monasteries (the medieval Benedictine Monastery of St. Hippolytus and the modern Camaldolese Monastery of St Joseph) in Nitra and their confrontation with the outcomes of the archaeological exploration. Several marked anomalies on several areas have been measured through geo-electric and GPR methods. The subsequent archaeological research found out that the measured anomalies reflect the presence of perished walled architectures, or their destructions. The anomalies of apparent specific resistance acquired in the area south of the ruins of St. Joseph´s Church corresponded with the position of unearthed walls of a Camaldolese monastery (monks´ dwellings, stone ceremonial walls, stone water conduit, etc.). The archaeological research on the Baroque terrace in the eastern part of the monastery´s premises showed that an exceptionally marked anomaly with rectangular ground plan does not represent a perished architecture, but the presence of a thin layer of stones from the destruction of the Baroque monastery. The layer of stones originated after the perishing of the Camaldolese monastery (1782), probably only during the terrain adjustments at the end of the 19th century or in the 1st half of the 20th century. Other anomalies captured in this area were caused by stone paving, foundations of polygonal summerhouse and remains of stone walls of the Baroque water conduit.
