The St. Gotthard Pass was first used as a pass starting in the 13th century, and the hospice, built at the behest of Milanese Archbishop Galdino (1171), also dates from this period. A chapel was built alongside the hospice on the site of a small church dating back to the 9th/10th century.
It was rebuilt towards the end of the 18th century at the instigation of the Capuchins, who managed the hospice until 1799.
