San Michele was erected in the 10th century and remodelled in the 12th century on behalf of the Counts of Ventimiglia when the bell tower was added. In the 13th century the church was granted as a fief to the Lerin Abbey. The earthquake of 1564 severely damaged San Michele. The left aisle was completely destroyed, the right one partially. The collapse of the façade in 1628 destroyed as well the first bay. In the 19th century, the church was "rebuilt" in the neo-Romanesque style. After the damage caused by bombings during WWII, San Michele underwent restoration in the 1950s. The angels, guarding the portal, look like the cousins of the angels at the near Cathedral.
