The church was built in the second half of the 17th century on the project of Pietro Grossi (17th century), after demolishing a more ancient place of worship of the 5th century. The cylindric bell tower, included into the church belongs to the 9th century and it is made up of two orders of wide windows surmounted by two and three mullioned windows. The facade is tripartite corresponding to the three internal naves with three portals made of Istria stone. Inside there is a precious collection of paintings of several Ravennati painters that date back to the 16th and 18th centuries.
