The church with stone facade was begun in 1299 for the Augustinian order, but the apse was completed by 1350 in a gothic style with tall narrow windows. The interior has a Sant'Guglielmo by Antonio Nasini, an Annunciation (1640) by Jacopo da Empoli and a Madonna, Child, and Saints and Annunciation (1639) by Rutilio Manetti. The church once housed for some years a Maestà by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, originally made for the nearby Oratory of San Pietro all'Orto, and now held in the city gallery.[1]
