The church, built between 1612 and 1641, preserves works by Andrea and Paolo Brustolon, while across the street is the Old Hospital, erected in 1714.
Built between 1612 and 1641 according to the design of the Capuchin friar Andrea from Venice, to complete the adjoining convent of the Poor Clares, which was suppressed in 1806 and has since been used as public schools. It was remodeled in the apse area in 1952 by the architect Alberto Alpago Novello: the work also involved the adjoining cloister, completed with the addition of the side attached to the church. Inside, there is a valuable golden wooden monstrance by Andrea and Paolo Brustolon. There are also other works from the 17th-18th centuries, including paintings by Francesco Frigimelica the Elder and Antonio Lazzarini.
“Opposite the church stands the noble but austere structure of the Old Hospital, built in 1714 according to the design of the Treviso architect Paolo Tremignon: the construction incorporated the previous sixteenth-century building, of which the chapel erected in 1692 remains inside. The building served as the hospital of Belluno until 1987.” (Tiziana Conte, Belluno and province, Italy Guides, Ed. Touring Club Italiano. Milan: TCI, 2004)
