The church was built in the 17th century in the Baroque style, but the facade was later removed.
The church's construction commemorated the end of the plague and the discovery of the body of Saint Rosalia on Monte Pellegrino near Palermo. At that time, many Sicilian cities adopted Rosalia as their patron saint, including Agrigento.
