The complex, located on a panoramic terrace, consists of the church of Romanesque origin, the parish house and the bell tower built in Roman times on the bases of an ancient lookout tower. The interior, with a single nave with a rectangular presbytery and transept composed of two rooms, preserves seventeenth-century stuccoes and frescoes, a confessional and wooden pulpit worked in inlay and some frontals in polychrome scagliola attributed to Pietro Solari di Ramponio (the one placed on the main altar) and to Giuseppe Molciani (the one in the Chapel of Sant'Apollonia and the one in the Chapel of SS. Giuseppe and Bernardo). The painter Carlo Inganni from Dizzasco created the fresco on the vault of the presbytery while the stuccos of the main altar are by Giuseppe Giani and his son G. Battista from Cerano d'Intelvi. In the chapel to the right of the entrance there is a canvas depicting the "Flight into Egypt” the work of the local painter Matteo Baldassarre Longoni (1876-1956).
Construction period: 1620 – 1664
