The article dates the first Christian oratory to the 5th century, built within a large Roman warehouse beneath the church, and gives the infobox founding as the 4th century with a question mark. It was rebuilt with an upper level in 1049 after Tiber floods. Martino Longhi the Elder built the bell tower in 1580.

An interior renovation began in 1636, and Cosimo Fanzago carried out a renovation in 1639. Pietro da Cortona designed the travertine facade, built from 1658 to 1660. The infobox gives completion in 1662. The building is brick with limestone details, and the ciborium is alabaster and lapis lazuli.

It is a titular and stational church in the Diocese of Rome. The Daughters of the Church are the religious institute, and the article gives no heritage status.
