It is one of the most ancient Churches in the town. A valuable fresco, of umbro-senese school, dated around the half of the XV century, is inside the Church. "Our Lady with the Holy Child" together with "lashers" or "punishers", representing a penitential group that was active in Umbria since 1200.

The Church, as appears today, is the restructuring of the ancient shrine of "St Mary of Chastisers", dated around 1650.

Dedicato ai caduti valentanesi
