Documents date the church back to 1369 but likely it's older.

In fact, the church was built adjacent to a convent founded in 1280, which later became the seat of the court of the inquisition.

Church dedicated to the Dominican monk Peter , killed in 1252 by the Cathars on his way from Como to Milan .

Original apse rebuilt 1645 . In 1776 the adjoining convent was suppressed. The apse modified again in 1817 and the bell tower was also remodeled in the same year.

Under the altar is the urn that holds the body of St. Prospero martyr , moved to Monza from the Roman catacombs of Sant'Agnese .

On the square in front of the facade is the monument to Mosè Bianchi , a painter from Monza.
