According to one version of the legend of St Illuminata, this virgin martyr was buried near a church on this site.
The Emperor Conrad II gave the site to the Camaldolese monks of the Abbazia di Sant' Apollinare, Ravenna in 1037, and they built the present church.
The monastery was suppressed in the early 13th century, and the church passed to the Canons of the Duomo, Todi. In 1260, its prior was Benedetto Caetani, the future Pope Boniface VIII.
The complex is now private property.
A pulpit and two bifore windows can be seen outside the ex-monastery.
Exterior
The façade has a round portal with four hollow arches and is flanked by two blind arches.
A mullioned window with two lights and a small column of marble at its centre is above.
A relief (9th century) of a Greek cross with carved figures (two birds, an archer and a stag) in its quadrants is inserted above.
Interior
The church, which has a single nave, originally had a raised presbytery with a crypt below. The crypt collapsed and the apse was rebuilt: traces of the original vault of the crypt survive.
