The church was already in existence in 1395 as an annexe to the convent. It is currently disused. The present building dates from the eighteenth century. The exterior is simple and neoclassical. The interior is a baroque-rococo, the central nave. Inside are several eighteenth-century works: the canvas of San Gennaro made by Giovanni Petruzzi from Troia, paintings by Giuseppe Farina from Lucera; a beautiful wooden ceiling of Michael Calitri; various papier-mâché statues, including the Statue of St. Francis of Assisi by artist Giacomo Colombo.
