Established as a parish in 1553, the church was rebuilt in its current forms at the end of the 19th century and completed in 1960 with the construction of the facade.
The building features a neoclassical gable facade, facing south-west, with a bell tower positioned beside the old church. The layout consists of a single rectangular hall, with a quadrangular raised presbytery that has four steps, culminating in a semicircular apse. Along the sides of the hall, four semi-chapels house the altars of St. Anthony of Padua and the Madonna on the western side, and the altars of St. Joseph and the Sacred Heart on the opposite side.
The internal facades are rhythmically lined with a series of Ionian semi-columns supporting a high molded entablature that connects the entire interior perimeter. The presbytery, introduced by a grand triumphal arch, is defined at the corners by protruding Ionian semi-columns. The hall is covered by a barrel vault articulated by projecting ribs with stucco decorations; the presbytery is topped by a dome with a skylight, and the apse is closed by a spherical semi-dome.
It features a dual-slope roof supported by a wooden structure and covered with clay tiles. The flooring of the hall is made of cement tiles with a colorful geometric decoration, while the presbytery is paved with slabs of green Alpine marble and red Venetian breccia.
