Sant’Elena is named after the Church of Saint Helena the Empress, where the relics of Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, have been kept and venerated for over 800 years. According to tradition, in 1211 the Venetians, returning from Constantinople after the Fourth Crusade, brought the saint’s remains here.
