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.
