During the Vandal Kingdom and Roman Empire the town was the seat of a bishopric.[2][3] In 484 the town's bishop Gennaro, attended the synod assembled in Carthage by the Vandal King Huneric, after which Gennaro was exiled to Sicily. The current titular bishop is Samuel Ferreira de Lima, of Rio de Janeiro.[4]
