The body of the basilica laughed them to the first half of the sec. XI, the apse and cripta it to the sec. XII. The inner space is shared in three navate overhung from a R-a.vista roof. The presbiterio, soprelevato regarding cripta covered from a great time to cruise, finishes in a realized semicircular apse, is to the inside is to the outside, with vestment in masonry policroma. Desueta is then the facade, leaned to the mount and deprives of doors. The extended rifacimenti completed in the centuries make from controcanto the remarkable immaterial sediment of the memory, the tradition, the legends that animate the history of this basilica. Discordant voices and documents talora, nearly travel parallel without to contradict or to corroborate themselves. A tradition would want built up it after the participation of the first bishop of Como S. Felice. Transformed the tempio dedicated to Mercury, the empty ones of S. Carpoforo and its similar martyrdoms would have placed you: Esanto, Cassio, Licinio, Strict and Second. To Liutprando, lived in the first half of the WAYS, it would have to be made to go back one of the reconstructions. Of 1040 it would be the consacrazione. In 1511, after along period in which it was of time in entrusted time to knights, date the renunciation to such charge of Nicholas Lampugnani, came left to the order of S. Gerolamo soppresso in 1773 for the meager number of monaci. From then it was church parochial and chased center of one community of the Religious ones of the Assumption.

All it encloses the building in a picture as well as vanished how much evocative one.
