    The church was commissioned by bishop Luigi Pappacoda and built between 1667 and 1700 by Giovanni Andrea Larducci in the place of a previous structure of the fifteenth century.
    Particular for the pseudo-elliptical plan and the finely decorated Baroque facade inspired by the art of Borromini, has an articulated shape convex in the first order and concave in the second.
    The interior, in addition to numerous altars in the typical Salento Baroque style, houses the twelve statues of the Apostles by Placido Buffelli and a late Gothic fresco from the church of Santa Maria della Luce.
