The church was built to the plans of Filippo Juvarra between 1732 and 1736 and completed by Agliaudo di Tavigliano, Francesco Benedetto Feroggio and Ignazio Birago di Borgaro. The façade was built in 1872 and then faithfully restored in 1955 after it had suffered serious damage during the Second World War. In the superb apse is the Madonna del Carmine by Claudio Francesco Beaumont (1755-60).
