About

Towards 1180, the Hospital Knights of Saint John from Jerusalem (later Knights of Malta), built a complex containing an "hospital" to welcome and give shelter to their members returning from the Holy Land, and other pilgrims and travellers, along with two churches superimposed, one for each floor of the "hospital" (a term that in medieval times indicated dormitories).
