The first construction, started in 1665, was soon followed in 1722 by a second that saw the demolition of the first building and the creation of a second church to a design by the architect Romolo Broglio from Treia. The façade was built subsequently (1774). The interior consists of a single chamber, with lunette barrel vaulted ceiling and two lateral chapels on each side. There is exteremely sumptuous gold leaf gilding on the high altar (1735) that houses the painting by Pier Simone Fanelli showing Saint Philip in the Catacombs. The four minor side chapels all have altars with altarpieces in stucco and scagliola and are richly decorated.
