The origins of this church are not known with certainty although various sources trace its foundation back to the early periods of the spread of Christianity in this area. Saint John the Baptist was the first protector of the city of Gubbio and most likely this church was the city's cathedral until the 10th century. The current appearance is the result of a rebuilding which took place between the 13th and 14th centuries.

For pilgrims there are several water points around the church. And there is a stamp in the wall.
