It was erected in the 18th century in a baroque style on the site of an older church, as the mausoleum of Archbishop Zmajevic. It kept the image of Our Lady of Kastela, painted by Blaž Jurjev Trogiranin in the 15th century (today it is in a permanent exhibition of church art exhibitions). It enjoys great reputation and popularity with many generations of Zadar residents. In World War II it was completely destroyed, leaving only a bell tower and a small shrine. It was only renewed in 1990 with a valuable donation from the late Msgr. Simeon Duce, who is buried in it.
