Facts and practical information

The church of San Girolamo is a church in Lucca located on the street of the same name.

It was built in the mid-15th century and intended for the Jesuit order. The portal is surmounted by a polychrome terracotta lunette depicting the Madonna and Child between Saints Peter and Jerome, datable to the early 16th century. Only two corbels remain of the loggia in front - demolished in the early 19th century during the reorganization of this part of the city. Inside, no trace remains of the original layout, which was undone by a complete renovation in the 18th century. Closed to worship, it is intended to be used as an auditorium attached to the Giglio theater.
