A highlight for the eyes and soul on the outskirts of the sprawling city of Lugano and in combination with the (celebrity) cemetery across the street.

The richly decorated and stuccoed choir dates from the 18th century. There are architectural paintings of high artistic value in the vault. The chiaroscuro picture of the Madonna with Saint Dominic and Catherine was painted by G. Petrini (1667-1759) from Carona.
The restoration work completed in 1998 (Arch. Gianfranco Rossi) made it possible to bring back a 15th century fresco depicting St. Anthony the Abbot.
A new altar made of Peccia marble and five stained glass windows, works by Fra Roberto Pasotti from the Bigorio monastery, were also added. The two old sundials on the facades to the southeast and southwest were also restored.
To the side of the church is the ossuary from 1720 with frescoes on the outside by Bartolomeo Rusca, while the painting of the Pieta inside is by G. Petrini. The wrought iron grilles were created by a local craftsman in the 18th century. The 14 Stations of the Cross from the 17th century are painted in oil on copper panels. The church was restored in 1960 by the painter Emilio Ferrazzini from Lugano.
