The church, which foundation time is unknown, certainly existed in the fourteenth century, when it was integrated into the north curtain wall of the Scaliger fortifications. Of the oldest building, part of the north side remains, which has fourteenth-century frescoes on the wall.

It was rebuilt in the second half of the fifteenth century and ended in the first decade of the 1500s. It has a structure typical of the late fifteenth century Po valley architecture: a large rectangular hall, divided into bays by pointed arches with buttresses, and a polygonal apse with umbrella vault ribs on corbels:

The entrance porch was built later (XVII century), using recovered columns and a military stone with an inscription of the Roman period by Julian the Apostate.
