It's a late Romanesque and Gothic construction, built between 1369 and 1391. The church was enlarged by Count Raimono Orsini del Balzo, while his wife Maria d'Enghien was the promoter of the splendid cycles of frescoes of the interiors (comparable to those of Assisi), for which in the fifteenth century he called the best artists of Naples. From 1494 the building belonged to the Olivetan monks and in 1597 it was entrusted to the Reformed fathers, who erected the new convent. The construction of the four-sided portico on the ground floor, with the convent workshops and the refectory, dates back to this period. Externally, the Romanesque façade is enriched by a finely decorated portal and a rose window that seems to be embroidered in the stone.

Included in the Salento Bizantino collection komoot.it/collection/1811756/-salento-bizantino - Normally open even outside the times of worship, it is highly valued and easily usable. It marks the marked passage of iconography and frescoes from the Byzantine to the Latin.
