The earliest church was built on this site in the 14th century. The nuns of the adjacent monastery commissioned the new building. While traditionally the architect Giovanni Guarino, a pupil of Francesco Grimaldi, has been cited as the architect of today's Baroque church, more recent documents cite Giovanni Giacomo Conforto. The first documented payment for the design dates back to 1626, when the façade was also completed. The marble portal was completed by Bernardino Landini in 1634 and the dome in 1654. The church was consecrated in 1669.
