History

A church was built at this site in 1334 by the Mendicant order of Carmelite monks; this church was oriented in the opposite orientation with the entrance portal to the east and the apse in the west. In the seventeenth century a major refurbishment inverted the orientation. The church and the order was suppressed in 1805, and the church was used first as a hospital then a warehouse, while the adjacent convent became barracks and in 1807, an abbatoir. By 1923, convent and church buildings were utilized as offices of the Fascist party. The church by 2006 was abbandoned. In 2017, a project for restoration of the church was begun and completed two years later. During the restorations portions of a Roman era mosaic pavement were discovered. [1] [2]
