According to some local history scholars, there is no reliable information on the construction of the church, so the chapel should be erected around 1500.
Other interventions, relating to the interior decoration of the church, refer to the '700 -'800, such as the two plant-based stucco frames in the center of the side walls.
The chapel was then restructured at the end of the twentieth century, with the decisive contribution of the population of San Quirico.
The building has a fairly elegant shape, given mainly by the sloping entrance porch, consisting of four brick pillars, which in turn enclose three plastered arches. The porch, enclosed on the right and left sides by a masonry parapet with travertine threshold.
The hut facade is characterized by a small brick crowning, emphasizing the contour; In the center there is a sixteenth-century portal, completed above by a triangular eardrum, which is joined by two windows with brick jambs and a monolithic architrave in sandstone. The interior is a single aisle without apse, with two side windows at the height of the presbytery and two-sided wooden cover.
