St Francis of Assisi, who was closely associated with Gubbio, supposedly was once housed in a room adjacent to the church. Tradition holds that the site belonged to Giacomello Spadalunga, who clothed St Francis after his encounter with robber.
The Gothic style church was built by 1256, and decoration was completed by 1291. The present octagonal bell tower was constructed in the 14th century. The interior was reconstructed in the 18th century, though the church contains some of the original faded fresco work from the 15th century.
