Built at the start of the 13th century, and concluded in the subsequent century with the construction of it facade. On one side of the building rises the striking cuspidate bell tower, one of the defining elements of the whole village profile, decorated with double and triple lancet windows and majolica walls above the belfry. On the inside, a frescoed covered narthex with cross vaults leads into the only nave which has remained following the transformation of the building in the Baroque era, which is also the era back to when the decoration and stucco date. Apart from the wooden pulpit, carved at the end of the 16th century, the painted tables by Defendente Ferrari, one of which being a polyptych of the nativity, signed and dated 1511, are particularly remarkable.
