The church is a Romanesque building from the 11th century. From the 11th century until the 17th century, it served as the parish church for the hamlet of Valleta. After centuries of abandonment, popular pressure in the late 20th century led to the reopening of the church for worship, the restoration of its surroundings, the promotion of historical research, and the organization of a gathering that has been held continuously since May 1980.
