An epigraph mentions the consecration in 1090 by the reformed Pope Urban II of the main altar of the church which was called ad Pineam. In 1113, an inscription that is no longer preserved mentions the dedication of a side altar. The body of the nave was probably longer and the original apse to the east was possibly destroyed by an overflow of the Tiber. The current medieval appearance of the façade and the three-aisled interior with a choir and vaulted apse is largely the result of a historicist reconstruction of the church. Originally, the church had already been reduced in size in the medieval period and later converted to Baroque style. Significant parts of the two-storey bell tower, the façade and the outer wall of the southern clerestory are medieval, while inside, only the southern colonnade of the nave can be considered of the period. Among the liturgical furnishings that have been preserved are a slab with a quincunx of a pluteus, and a marble block altar attributable to the late 11th century with a clipeate Agnus Dei in relief on the front and small columns at the corners – a rare example of the art of the Gregorian reform prior to the building boom under Pope Paschal II.
