Sorta probabilmente a partire dall’XI secolo sui resti di un tempio dedicato al dio Apollo, la chiesa assunse la forma attuale dopo il rovinoso incendio del 1190 mentre notevoli ricostruzioni vennero eseguite dopo il terremoto del 1246, modificando pesantemente la struttura originaria.

Solo in epoca molto più tarda venne aggiunta la quarta “navatina” di destra, il campanile e la facciata (inizi del XV secolo). Quest’ultima a coronamento orizzontale presenta caratteri umbro-abruzzesi ed è scandita da due lesene piatte che la dividono in tre parti ognuna delle quali ospita un portale. I tre portali sono ornati da splendidi fregi: sulla lunetta di quello centrale spicca il gruppo della Vergine col Bambino, attribuito a Giovanni Pisano, figlio di Nicola. Il rosone centrale è un vero gioiello del Cinquecento, è un capolavoro “condotto con la finezza della trina”. L’interno si presenta a tre navate, con pianta a croce latina, e una quarta navata costruita nel Trecento.

La cripta del XII secolo conserva un Crocifisso ligneo del Settecento e numerose pietre tombali.

Nel braccio sinistro del transetto, si trova l’organo a canne. Lo strumento, che è stato costruito negli anni sessanta del XX secolo dalla ditta organaria Pinchi, riutilizza parte del materiale fonico di un precedente strumento, opera di Angelo Morettini, risalente al 1841

Dedicated to Mary Most Holy of the Annunciation, the church was built in Gothic style on a Latin cross plan in the 12th century upon a pre-existing Roman temple.

Over the centuries, the façade underwent numerous restorations and refurbishments initially as a result of a fire in 1190, then a powerful earthquake in 1246 and finally the caving in of a part of the roof in 1322, disfiguring some of its more unique features.
