A Benedictine abbey was founded here in the Middle Ages, entitled to St. Syrus of Genoa, who, according to the tradition, was born here.

It received a series of modifications in the 16th century, in the wake of the new procedures established by the Council of Trent.

The church was built in sandstone, without external decorative elements aside from the Lombard bands of the upper edges of the walls, present on every side.

In that occasion were also restored the triple mullioned windows of the bell tower, which has a height of 32 m. The interior has a nave and two aisles, divided by sturdy columns without decorations.

The main piece of art is a polyptych of St. Syrus (1516), once attributed to Teramo Piaggio, now assigned to Pier Francesco Sacchi.
