It once stood isolated in the countryside, but now it is the city's most important building. Of the original building the Gothic facade, rose window and a doorway still remain (XIVth century). The massive belltower is typically baroque.
The single-naved interior is sumptuously decorated and has tow chapels: the Pescatori Chapel (Fishermen chapel) of the XVth century and the Marinai Chapel (Sailors chapel) of the XVIth century. Of great interest is the Virgin's Chapel behind the high altar; access to it is through a beautifully carved archway by the Gagini school. This chapel contains a venerated Virgin and Child ('the Madonna of Trapani').
