History
The church was erected over an 8th-century structure, likely once an ancient Roman Temple dedicated to Bacchus. The structure has three naves, subdivided by heavy rounded stone arches with capital with allegorical figures. The entrance portal, dated to the 12th century, has medieval sculptural stone decorations, including a Christ Blessing. Medieval frescoes were discovered during restorations in the 1960s.[1]
