The church features a Latin cross layout with three chapels on each side and a dome covered in decorative tiles.

Founded in 1635, the complex merged two Benedictine nunneries around a 16th-century cloister designed by Giovanni Vincenzo Della Monica.

The interior displays marble decorations by Luigi Vanvitelli and artwork contributions from Simonelli, Corenzio, and Stanzione artists.

The Department of Earth Sciences and Museum of Paleontology occupy the buildings, open Monday through Friday with guided tours available.

The Oratorio della Scala Santa contains a double staircase leading to a garden area, designed by Luigi Vanvitelli in 1772.
