Founded long ago, the church and the Franciscan convent adjoining (which does not exist anymore), was re-built for the first time in 1293, then again after the Turkish invasion in 1566, and finally in 1890. The white stone façade still shows its thirteenth-century aspect, with a magnificent slightly ogival and bordered portal. The frame of the rose-window is the original one, but the radiating mullions are the result of a later re-construction. After the last intervention the church consists of a single nave at Latin cross and ogival arches. Inside there is a refined triptych representing the Majesty of the Holy Mary and the Child surrounded by saints: it was painted in the early sixteenth century by Michele Greco from Valona and bears witness to the flourishing cultural exchange between the two coasts of the Adriatic Sea.
