Founded by the Franciscans in 1219, this church is just outside the old Roman wall and has a well-preserved Romanesque portal and Gothic apse (renovated in 1965!). A visit to the cloister is worthwhile.

From this bridge there are impressive views of the Foz estuary and its wetlands from the bridge that joins it with San Cosme. This point is ideal to contemplate the sea and the mountains and immortalize the postcard with our camera.
