The church was built in the Romanesque style in the XIII century next to the hospital of St. Fina . The building is lined with travertine (lower part) and brick, decorated with a portal of the leaning type with a rosette of burnt clay.

The church received its name “ in Tempio ” from an unconfirmed tradition that its builders were the Knights Templar , returning from the First Crusade . ^[one]
