The simple facade is made of brick with a circular oculus and full-story pilasters. Construction of an oratory and a Benedictine convent for nuns began in 1433 with land donations by Anna Bollato Falconetti.
During the 16th-century a convent of Benedictine nuns was adjacent and documented till 1777. In 1799 it was occupied by Russians, and briefly made into an orthodox church. In the 19th-century it was restored by Don Gaetano Baccari. The brick facade was refurbished in the 1930s.
