When the church was consecrated on 11 October 1682 by Trieste bishop Giacomo Ferdinando Gorizutti, the roof of the building was still partly uncovered.

In November of the same year, the wooden dome of the church was destroyed by a fire that broke out in a nearby oil mill.

On 21 November 2011, during the celebration of the Madonna della Salute, the church was given the title of diocesan sanctuary by Archbishop Giampaolo Crepaldi.

It stands on two levels with a tympanum and is vertically divided into three parts by bundles of Corinthian pilasters which underline the division of the interior into three naves.

On the crossing stands the dome built in 1817 and frescoed by Giuseppe Bernardino Bison with the Quattro Evangelisti and false architectures.

The altar continues optically in the apse mural with a depiction of the Immaculate Conception, frescoed in 1842 by Sebastiano Santi.
