Founded in the VIIIth century, maybe by the longobard Queen Ansa, and rebuilt by the Agostiniani in 1122, this church was modernized by Medaglia on Sansovino’s drawing for the Canonici of S. Giorgio from Alga in 1510. The façade is in Venetia-Renaissance style so like the elegant inside where are preserved pictorial works of 1600 – 1700 and a painting by Foppa (1420 – 1492). Outside the church there’s the porch with noteworthy bas-relief in the small portal, that takes to the Renaissance smaller and bigger cloisters contemporary at the monastery. By the bottom of the bigger cloister you can reach S. Barnaba’s chapel (or St. Anatalone) with frescos of about 1520 by Paolo da Caylina the Young, so as the adjacent smaller sacristy. Outside, surpassed the cloisters, you reach the belvedere from which you see a splendid city panoramic.
