Converted into a Catholic church during Venetian rule and then a mosque by the Ottomans, who used its bell tower as a minaret, it has been an Orthodox church since 1925. The church is revered for housing the skull relic of St. Titus, which returned from Venice in 1966 after being safeguarded during the Turkish occupation.
