| It was built in the 16th century according
to a document of the 1569 preserved in the archives of Albano's
Diocese, where it is stated:<...La detta chiesa ha oltre
il suo altare maggior in cornu epistolae due altari uno di S.
Anna et l’altro di S.to Antonio et non ha dote alcuna...>,
in addition to this there are some news written by the local historian
A. Galieti:<.... La chiesetta, dalle pareti esterne in pietra
scalpellata, si trova a circa 300 m. a sud del paese. Allo stato
attuale si presenta come opera prevalentemente in stile dorico
del XVI secolo.... >.
Its interior is characterized by a great central peperino arch
with lacunars and rosettes, introducing to the high altar consecrated
to the Virgin, whose icon is painted on a piece of slate. The
room is lightened by the mullioned window on the left side.
In the back of the church there is part of the cloister of
the 16th century that hosted the Franciscan monks. Because of
a fire in 1862 the church was abandoned. In 1844 it was restored
and reopened.
