St. Fructuosus of Braga founded a monastery here in the 7th century, but it has not survived.
In 652, he wrote what was apparently a second letter to King Recceswinth asking for the release of political prisoners held from the reign of King Chintila, some of whom had languished in prison until the reign of King Erwig.
