The church is part of the homonymous convent complex, now called Municipal Picture-gallery, and the apse is on Rambaldi public gardens.
The history of the church is linked to the Order of the Dominicans, who started to build the church and the convent in 1280.
The Gothic-style church, terminated in 1374, remained unchanged until the restoration works of the 17th and 18th centuries which lead to the substitution of all the Gothic elements of the inside.
The only memory of the old aspect of the church is brought by the 1340 portal by Iacopo da Cereto and by the rose window on the front.
In the apse there is the panel by Ludovico Carracci called "Saint Orsola among the Martyr Mates" (1600).
The wooden choir dates back to the second half of the 16th century and a door on the right of the presbytery leads to an ogival chapel belonging to the primitive building and bearing on its walls some interesting Gothic-style frescos of the 14th century.
