Its existence is documented as early as 1061. Founded by the Buzzaccherini-Sismondi family and originally dedicated to Saint Martin, it once had an attached hospital.

The Romanesque façade, dating from the beginning of the 12th century, displays some of the typical features of Pisan medieval architecture, such as blind arcades, rhombuses and the use of bichrome stones (also present in the city's cathedral). The upper body is crowned by a large mullioned window.

The interior, despite having been damaged by a fire in 1675, has maintained the original basilica floor plan with a central nave and two lateral ones. The marble columns have capitals decorated with sculpted figures in the Romanesque style. It houses a rare wooden cross painted on a gilt panel and entitled Crucifix and Stories of the Passion (12th century), several Baroque altars and some 17th-century paintings by Ventura Salimbeni (Annunciation and Nativity), Aurelio Lomi (Adoration of the Magi), as well as frescoes by Domenico Passignano. The frescoes in the dome were done by Rutilio Manetti.

The robust and bell tower is made of masonry, simple with 2 bells.
