It was built beginning in the 13th century through the initiative of Piccardo, nephew of the saint, on the site where it is said that Donna Pica gave birth to St. Francis of Assisi. Adorned with frescoes created over a period of time dating from the 13th to 15th centuries, it was restored to its original features in 1926.
