It was built at the behest of the Mercedarian Friars in 1709, following a severe plague epidemic that emptied the village of Pula, later repopulated by farmers and shepherds.

A memorial stone in the central part of the façade, just above the main entrance, sets the date of construction. The architectural style is very simple, with a square façade on the outside surmounted by a bell gable and a pointed arch above the entrance door.

Inside, a wooden statue of St Raymond Nonnatus graces the nave, flanked by a wooden statue of St Margaret on the left and St Vincent Deacon on the right. The wooden ceiling has floral decorations. In the centre of the marble altar is a relic of St Raymond set in a slate stone.

Archive research reveals that the Mercedarian Friars farmed about 10 hectares of land around the Church, known as the Church of Sant'Arramundu (St Raymond), and the adjoining convent. They created beautiful orchards, managed and worked also by some lay friars. The property of the Mercedarian Friars was expropriated in 1848 following the 'Siccardi Laws', that abolished ecclesiastical courts and immunities. Today, there are only a few remains of the old convent. In this area, inside a dry-stone wall, the famous Stele of Nora was found in 1773.
