In the beginning of the 14th century the Pope Clemente V issued an official Papal bull which abolished the Templar order, thus the Church was confiscated by Gerosolimitani friars (monastic and knightly order, today known as "Knights of Malta") who called it "St. Giovanni al tempio".

In the beginning of the 16th century the Chiesa di San Gaetano (Church of St. Gaetano) was renovated profoundly how it is written on a tablet placed on main door. This renovation, wanted by the prior Ludovico Marcello, allowed the Church to keep fit until today. During the church history, the cult and the name, which were celebrate in it, changed from original "St. Battista del Tempio" to the present name "St. Gaetano from Thiene" out of regard for the Saint from Vicenza.

 
There are other demonstrations of old building also, one among the smallest churches in Treviso; they may be seen when we look at the semicircular plan of bell tower, the small hanging arches and the trabeation of South façade (made by Giacomo from Lago di Como in 1504).
An ornamental frescoed frieze and an image of the Christ Child’s baptism, placed on the tympan, adorn the South façade.
 

In 1509 the Church was renovated by the master Antonio Maria from Milano.
In the half of 1700 a second restructuring concerned the church, the original Gothic look gave up one’s seat to today look with it: today the church has many paintings bordered by stucco cornices.

In 1770 an organ (with 23 pipes) was placed in the church, this organ was made by Gaetano Callido from Venice, after it was modified by the organ maker Tolfo from San Vito al Tagliamento.
He replaced some pipes of organ causing essential modifications to its sound.

After some centuries, in 1993, the organ was restored by the organ maker Francesco Zuin from Codroipo who restored it and thus the organ recovered its original sound.
