It was built on the ruins of the 9th century church of St Nicholas de Portiis (de Porcis or in Porcibus). Belonging in the second half of the 16th century to the Capuchin Friars Minor, it was granted to the Lucchese in 1631. Mattia De Rossi took care of its renovation in 1682, after it had also been titled to the Holy Cross. The façade presents a single order with a wide portal flanked by two lower bodies. A triangular tympanum crowns it. The interior with a single nave and three chapels on each side was modified by Virginio Vespignani (1859-63). The coffered ceiling is adorned with 17th-century paintings.
