A church of very ancient origins, and one of Rimini's largest and most important.
Erected in 1625 on a site previously occupied by the Carmelites, it was rebuilt by Gaetano Cupioli in 1767-72.
The interior, with a single nave, is eleborately decorated with stucco ornaments by Antonio Trentanove in 1770.
