What you'll see
A Romanesque church with a massive square tower and four slim corner turrets, the landmark of the old town's riverfront. Inside it's simple and bare, with Roman walls in the excavations below.
A brief history
It was built in the 12th and 13th centuries on the site of a Roman sports and storage complex. Wrecked in the war, it took decades to rebuild and only reopened in the 1980s.
