The founding date of the church is not noted, however the most probable dates back to the first half of the 12th century, when it was cited in a document as a church dedicated to St. Paul built outside the second ring of the city wall.
The structure and dimensions of this church are those found on the apse and sacristy of the current gothic church.
The oldest St. Paul was enlarged in the beginning of the mid 13th century but only after the destruction of the city walls, the church was able to reach its current dimensions. The central aisle was transformed into a large chapel which opened onto a presbytery with its own altar. The chapel was decorated as we can see in certain frescoes recently discovered in the church.
In the baroque period the church was renovated and additional altars were added, of which, today, only the central and two lateral remain along with the confessional and the steps of the presbytery with a marble fence.
