Already in a document of 1398, a small church is mentioned built on the place that tradition identifies as "the paternal and birthplace of St. Francis of Assisi" which was an important stage of pilgrimages in the footsteps of Francis of Assisi. In 1610, at the behest of the King of Spain Philip III, a new church in Baroque style was built to replace the medieval one on a project by Rufino da Cerchiara.
