Bellissima e antichissima chiesa, molto caratteristica, perchè sembra costruita sopra i portici di via XX Settembre. In realtà la chiesa originale, che sorgeva su una altura, risale a prima dell'anno 1000 e ad essa era annesso anticamente un monastero. Per consentire l'apertura alla fine dell'800 di via XX Settembre sono state demolite alcune cappelle laterali e con la costruzione del ponte monumentale ha assunto l'attuale fisionomia.
