The church was built by Cronaca between 1499 and 1504 on the site of a former Franciscan chapel. The facade, very plain, nonetheless innovates by the presence of three windows and a door surmounted by a tympanum. The interior, a single nave, is bordered by chapels and has a wooden ceiling. A few paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries, and a polychrome Deposition by Della Robbia, do not lessen its severity.
