The church dates back to 1200 and, according to tradition, was built together with a convent, on the initiative of St. Francis of Assisi dedicating it to the Holy Cross, passing through Vasto on the journey to the sanctuary by St. Michael the Archangel of the Gargano. In 1723 Carlo De Nardis, Prior of the Brotherhood of St. Anthony and a great benefactor of the churches of Vasto, had the church decorated with sculptures and baroque stuccoes, by an unknown Neapolitan artist. The bas-reliefs illustrate biblical episodes, of the life of Our Lady, Saint Joseph and Saint Anthony, or are symbols of some virtues.
