History and description
The stone church was putatively built in the 11th century atop the ruins of an ancient pagan temple. The facade is made of non-hewn, irregular stones and sports awkward elements such as a portico entering from the alley at a right angle. The nave is subdivided with two aisles. The church crypt has Romanesque-era frescoes by unknown authors. The organ is from the 18th century and the baptistry from 1603.
The church was once affiliated with a confraternity of flagellants known as the Battenti.[1]
