The construction took many years of work, completed in XNUMX as can be seen from the visible inscription on the architrave of the door through which the convent was accessed.

Access to the church, which has a single nave, is from a floor below Via Torrenuova and can be reached through a flight of steps completed in 1823. The façade, very simple, has a portal embellished with two columns and ends with a pediment at the whose center is the coat of arms of the conventual order.
