A church and convent at the site was erected in 1252, which was manned by the Franciscan Friars (Padri Riformati dell'Osservanza). Violante da Montefeltro, wife of Malatesta Novello, commissioned a reconstruction of the church, transferring in 1457 the monks to a convent adjacent to the Chiesa dell'Osservanza in Cesena. Augustinians from the Hermitage of San Giovan Buono, which was located outside Cesena, were then brought here. From 1748 to 1777, commissioning designs by Luigi Vanvitelli, the Augustinians replaced the earlier structure with the present church and convent. The main altarpiece originally was a Virgin in Glory with God the Father, and venerated by the Fathers of the Church by Girolamo Genga; the painting was appropriated by the Napoleonic authorities and transported to the Pinacoteca di Brera. The bell tower was designed by Pietro Carlo Borboni. The main portal by Sebastiano Bernava.
