The church was built between 1896 and 1914 by the Frati della Carità (called Padri Bigi ), founded by Ludovico da Casoria, according to plans by the architects Cursi and Cortese. The church was consecrated on April 21, 1942 by Vicegerent Luigi Traglia . The church was built in neo-Gothic style and has a facade flanked by two towers. Above the entrance there is a mosaic depicting Mary as Immaculate . The interior consists of three naves.
