It is annexed to the former monastery of the Capuchine friars[1] and it belongs to the Fondo Edifici di Culto [it] (FEC).

Both of them were constructed because of the necessity of the Capuchine friars (who lived in a monastery annexed to a Church inside the cemetery of Cappuccini until 1566[1][3] needed to get near the town.

The Church is with a single nave,[1] has a baptistry and seven chapels,[1] embellished by frescoes made by Leonardo Mirabile and Giovanni Dato,[3] while the frescoes on the nave and the vault were realized by Eugenio Ligotti and Salvatore Gagliano[3] from Palermo.

[3] In the sacristy there is a little alabaster statue of Our Lady of Trapani and a painting of the Finding of Our Lady of Miracles made by fra Felice da Sambuca), which once were probably kept in the chapel of the Madonna of Purity, together with the paintings of Ecce homo (later placed on the right side of the church's entrance) and that of Saint Anne.

[3] Inside the ex friary there are also some paintings on canvas, kept in one of the church chapels until 1884, representing Judas’ betrayal, Jesus' capture and the Virgin Mary with the sleeping Infant Child.
