It contains an important and venerated icon of the Crucifixion, with the depiction of Christ on the cross and to the sides the figures of Mary and John, typical of Eastern Christian iconography is the presence at the foot of the cross of a miniature cave and the Adam's skull.

The church is home parish, erected March 9, 1960, with the decree of the Cardinal Vicar Clemente Micara Quotidianis curis.
