The license required for the construction of the religious building and the monastery is dated February 24, 1601. According to the 1607 census, the church was already erected by that year. The construction of the monastery proceeded more slowly, and in fact, in 1612 the structure was still incomplete. This information comes from the baron of Delia himself, Don Gaspare Lucchese, who in his will reserved 200 onze for the completion of the Carmelite convent. Like all other religious buildings in Delia, the Carmelo underwent significant reconstruction works during the 18th century, as reported in the pastoral visitation of 1737: it was rebuilt in 1727 but never consecrated. Structural problems affected, in particular, the façade and the bell tower. In 1742, the upper part of the bell tower was demolished, and in 1773 it was entirely rebuilt. Starting in 1872, works that lasted about a decade once again reconstructed the façade. Finally, in 1930, the last documented works redesigned the bell tower once more, giving it its current appearance.
