Originally constructed in 1144, it underwent significant renovations in the late 17th century under the direction of architect Giuseppe Zimbalo, which gave it its current Baroque appearance.

Inside, visitors can admire beautiful frescoes, a richly decorated ceiling, and several chapels, each with unique artistic and religious significance.
