The original church of Saint Stephan was a medieval building consecrated in 1138 and was located outside the walls of Poli.
In 1628 the church was also renovated with the addition of a college thanks to the Dukes of Poli.
The dukes offer a land to S. Giuseppe Calasanzio to build a school for the inhabitants of the village.
In this church there are the tombs of the dukes' family and the last restoration work dates back to 1723.
The fresco of a crucifixion attributed to Taddeo Zuccari is to be found in the apse.
