There are many ideas about when this church was built and to who it was dedicated originally. Some people believe that the earliest mention is in 1701, others claim that the church was built in 1766 or that the building was constructed even later, between the 17th or 18th century. Locals like to refer to the church with a story of the Ukrainian Robin Hood: Oleksa Dovbush. He would have come to the church to look at its iconostasis.

The Church of St. John the Sepulchre is a Romanesque church from the 11th century. It is a fabulous example of construction from the Norman period, perhaps erected by Bohemond I of Antioch when he was returning from the Crusades as is the local tradition. In 1761 an earthquake destroyed most of the buildings in Brindisi; the Church of St John at the Sepulchre did not collapse but suffered considerable damage, leading to a long deterioration and the loss of 80% of the frescoed surface, until the restoration in the mid-19th century.
