Where the church is now, was a temple where worshippers of Mithras met in Roman times. Ruins of the pagan place got excavated - and some parts were reused, when the church got erected within the 10th century. During the Battle of Ravenna (1512), fought by forces of the (Spanish-Papal) Holy League and France, lead by Gaston de Foix, who died in that battle, the church got severly damaged. It got rebuilt and consecrated again in 1527.
