History

The church is ancient, said to have been originally erected in the 7th or 8th centuries, but the present layout mainly reflects the reconstruction during the 13th-century. A Dominican convent was present at its side from 1394 until suppression in 1810 under the Napoleonic government.

The small portal of the church is flanked by columns with Corinthian capitals, while the interior has a single nave with nearly 10 lateral chapels. In the third chapel on the left there is a 12th century wooden sculpture called the Sedes Sapientiae, depicting an Enthroned Madonna and Child.[1]
