There are reports of this church from 1383 and is therefore a religious building dating back to the age of the Scaligeri rule (1311-1387). The building took place on a site where, perhaps, there was a hospice for pilgrims.
Originally the church had a modest structure and from 1440 the documentary sources attest to the existence of a small convent of Franciscan friars, adjacent to the church itself. The friars remained there until 1656, when the convent was suppressed, because it was too poor and lacking in income. In the seventeenth century the church and the convent passed under the direction of the Brotherhood of Carmine.
In 1730-1740 the church was renovated and enlarged to its current size, as evidenced by the inscription on the facade. Subsequently, and until it became parish church (1930), it was "branch church" dependent on the archpriest church of Santa Maria.
The bell tower recalls in its structure the shape of a tower and it is of considerable architectural interest.
