First evidence of this church goes back to 1144,but the builder is unknown; towards the end of the 13th century it was managed by a lay fraternity, the Battuti or Disciplinati, which originally depended on S. Columbas monastery; after 1448 it was taken over by the bishop. The primitive church is still partially visible on the left side of the present façade; it was abandoned in 1609, due to the bishops interdict; it was enlarged later
