UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is part of the serial site "Lombards in Italy: the places of power", including seven places full of architectural, pictorial and sculptural evidence of Lombard art. The central hexagonal plan refers to that of the homonymous church in Constantinople: in the center six columns are arranged at the top and connected by arches that support the dome. It is one of the most important examples of Lombard architecture in the Langobardia Minor, even if over the centuries it has been remodeled several times, until it acquires its modern appearance.
