Built on a Roman domus, existing prior to the fifth century; Of this pre-existence we have the testimonies in some furnishings that were incorporated in the church, like a column of granite, in the wall of the right aisle and a similar one at the Chapel of S.Giacinto; pavements remains visible beneath the grate floor next to the wooden door of the entrance porch show us, in addition, precious marbles arranged in geometric figures, indicating a fairly high social level of that ancient domus owners.
