The Archonfraternity of the Reverenda Misericordia was founded by Giovanni de'Medici in 1566.

Not having a church of their own at the time, initially they used the right altar with the wooden crucifix inside the Dome.

This small church was built in 1677, and the relics of San Cristino, the martyr patron saint of Portoferraio, are kept here. Since 1852, every May 5th a mass in Napoleon's honour is held here. www.infoelba.com/
