The church was elevated to minor basilica status in 1931. In 1960 Pope John XXIII granted it a titular church as a seat for Cardinals. Two staircases provide access to the gantry of the church, where stands a statue of Saint Anthony of Padua, holding the Christ Child. Inside, the church is constructed of three naves, divided by two columns of pillars made of pink marble.
