Built between 1521 and 1539, the church is a small marvel of frescoes. The Parable of the Ten Virgins of the Parmigianino can be found in the arch of the presbytery. In the crypt are the tombs of the Farnese family and of some Bourbons, notably that of Marie-Louise of Austria's second husband, Adam-Albert de Neipperg, who ruled Parma for a few years. Small adjoining museum that preserves relics such as the shirt of King Louis XVI at the time of his execution.
