When this church was built in 1375, the contract contained a curious clause: the monastery had to give the bishop of Castello every year a pound of incense, two oranges and two flasks of wine. A symbolic tribute, but one to be paid every year, which bound the monastery to the diocese. The nuns came from far away.
