The church is a notable example of Roman Baroque architecture designed by Francesco Borromini in the mid-17th century. It is distinguished by its symbolic and innovative design, particularly the spiral lantern crowning its dome. The interior is characterized by unique geometric shapes that reflect Borromini's architectural creativity.

Constructed starting in 1643, the building served as a religious monument with strong ties to Roman Catholic heritage. Its artistic and architectural features demonstrate a remarkable blend of spiritual symbolism and baroque aesthetics.

Currently, the church is closed for renovations. It is historically significant as a masterpiece of baroque religious architecture and an important cultural monument within its context.
