Built on the substructure of a Roman temple, with a foundation date of 690 in the list of the twelve and standing fabric from the eleventh century. The grave of Plectrude, who died in 718 and founded the church, can be seen inside. Paul VI raised it to basilica minor in 1965; the building and its toilets are recorded as wheelchair accessible.
