His name, however, derive from the fact that in the Church flew the water that canalized and made gushing externally, fed a wash. Externally, in the area facing the religious complex, the remains of Roman origin are still visible such as a mass of white limestone on which are sculptured figures and stylized human figures whose meaning remains unknown.
