The Chiesa di S. Stefano Profeta, or San Stefano as it is locally known, was founded in the year 1254 and is a Catholic church.

History

This convent church was founded around the 13th century Augustinian monks from the Church of Sant'Anna in Castello. The current church was begun in the 14th century and has only been restored twice since its first construction. The church has quite a bloody history as no fewer than six monks have been killed within its walls. This caused the church to be deconsecrated after each occurrence.
