It is one of the most important Rimini eighteenth - century churches.
Jesuits built it by sticking to the model of the Roman Jesus Church. The monastery next to the church was turned first into the civil hospital then into the City Museum.
The decoration is unfinished because of Compagnia di Gesù's dissolution (Pope Clemente XIV, 1773).
Many seventeenth and eighteenth-century works of art are preserved there.
