The work of the Neapolitan architect Ferdinando Sanfelice, author of numerous palaces and churches in Naples, it was built between 1731 and 1774. The interior has a basilica layout with three naves and no transept, and is richly decorated with stucco work. The building contains the most significant works of the painter Paolo Gamba, a native of Ripabottoni, and a work by his Neapolitan master Francesco Solimena.
