The monastery church was built in 1760-1775 by master masons of Peter and Joseph Buccolini Foligno designed by the architect Carlo Murena, on the site of the former church of Santa Cecilia. The unfinished façade shows the history of this church to which they had made ambitious plans: a prestigious name for the project and the stucco to be approved by the painter and architect Domenico Valeri from Jesi. At a distance of twelve, however, in 1772, The church is only done to the rustic and covered, Murena and Valeri dead. Le monache, anxious to officiate, agree to suspend the work, to a better time to end. Suppressed in 1860, retains only the building structure.
Currently it has become an exhibition space for contemporary art and is home to the large sculpture by Gino de Dominicis, "Cosmic Magnet", which, owned by the Savings Bank Foundation, represents one of the highest and most significant examples of Italian art of the twentieth century and beyond.
