It was built in 1510 at the behest of Giovanni Battista degli Almadiani, who wished to dedicate a convent and church in his town to the Carmelite Order. Originally, it housed a glazed polychrome terracotta lunette attributed to Andrea Della Robbia and a terracotta bust depicting Giovanni Battista degli Almadiani. The two works are now kept in the Civic Museum in Viterbo.
