"La primera iglesia del lugar se construyó en 1624 por iniciativa del canónigo Giovanni Abela. Tenía planta cuadrada, bóveda de cañón con crucería y un altar. Finalmente, la Congregación la reconstruyó a lo largo de sesenta años. La parte trasera se amplió con la construcción de un coro y transeptos entre 1737 y 1739, mientras que la sección que se conservaba de la construcción de 1624 fue sustituida por una nave lateral con dos altares laterales a cada lado en 1779.
