"Ricostruita nel 1535 sul precedente edificio duecentesco, fu rinnovata con facciata di F. Tadolini (1765), che progettò anche l'attiguo convento. All'interno si conservano, nella volta, affreschi di G. Boni e G. Garofalini (1714); nel presbiterio, di G. A. Burrini e E. Haffner (1688); dipinti di M. A. Franceschini, L.
