The church dates back to the Angevin period and, according to the memoirs of Father Bernardino Oddo, it presented: “A beautiful and tall bell tower, square in shape, with a spiral inside, all carved and the work of the master hand of the French in the time of Charles of Anjou, before the Sicilian Vespers”.
After the earthquake of 1693 it was rebuilt and joined to the nearby Church of San Pietro, which had suffered the
same fate.
The interior, with three naves and a square apse, preserves the ancient wooden high altar with a 17th-century painting of the Martyrdom of St. Agatha by Bonino Pingebat, the Blessed Sacrament Chapel with its sculpted and gilded Baroque altar, the choir and an 18th-century pipe organ.
The carved stone façade is flanked by two bell towers built in the 18th century.
