    It was built in the second half of the 17th century according to the designs of Achille Larducci di Salò (nephew of Francesco Borromini). It replaced an old 15th-century chapel dedicated to the Apostle Matthew, to which was attached a Franciscan monastery. The foundation stone was laid in 1667 by the Bishop of Lecce Luigi Pappacoda and was completed in 1700 .
    Since April 30, 1810 it has been the seat of the parish of Santa Maria della Luce, established on March 16, 1606 in a church of the same name outside the walls and transferred here after the abolition of the Franciscan monastery.
