It was built together with the convent, of which the structure remains, transformed inside into a civil residence, and part of the cloister, on the site of a pre-existing church, entitled St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, at the end of the fifteenth century, presumably in 1478, the year in which the Carmelites arrived in Naro, through the work of the MRR Father Girolamo Guagliardo da Naro, thanks to the concession of the land by the jurors of Naro, with deed of concession dated 9 November 1478, preserved in the Town Hall, and to the donation of 200 scudi made by King Philip II, the Catholic, close to the walls, whose position is dominant with respect to the vast territory to the south.
This happy position also guarantees control of the countryside below and represents an obligatory passage due to the presence of the Porta Annunziata and is projected on a plan for future expansion outside the walls, which will take place in that direction at the end of the sixteenth century.
The bell tower was rebuilt in the early century. XIX, while the main altar was decorated by Maestro Stefano Rugiano and stuccoed by Francesco Santalucia, as attested by Fra Salvatore.The simple portal in stone, the only important element of the façade, dates back to 1612.
The interior, with late sixteenth-century reminiscences, with a longitudinal layout with a single hall, without transept, with a quadrangular apse (perhaps an ancient pre-guard tower) with side chapels and niches carved into the thickness of the perimeter walls, shows some notable wooden statues, including the Prophet Sant'Elia, trampling on the head of Queen Jezabele, of Nicolò Bagnasco from Palermo.
