Built in 1167, it has an octagonal plan. 16th century restorations include the marble cover of some walls, the pavement and the baptismal font (1531) and the narthex (1588) of the entrance.

The interior has a 14th-century crucifix over the St. John altar, and two wooden statues of saints, Philip Neri and John the Baptist. Over the ceiling is a 12th-century statue of the Archangel Gabriel.
