A church at this site was originally founded in the 12th century, but underwent a reconstruction in 1518. In 1595, two naves were added under the direction of Alessandro di Francesco Bandini. [1] Among the ancient Florentine families who patronized the church were the Alessandri, Alamanni, Giugni, and Falconieri. The external facade is plain with only an early 16th-century terracotta with a Virgin and child with young St John. Also in 14th century, a series of facial masks are embedded in walls.

The church also has frescoes (1593) by Santi di Tito also with a statue of Santa Lucia. The main altar has a 15th century crucifix and the apse cupola frescoes were painted by Pier Dandini. A terracotta Madonna and Child with Angels by Andrea della Robbia is housed in the church. It also houses a baptismal font (1745), a 15th century ciborium, and a wooden pulpit (1602) whose design is attributed to Bernardo Buontalenti and sculpture to Gherardo Silvani.
