Facts and practical information

The parish of Santa Lucia was founded by archiepiscopal decree on April 10, 1629 by Archbishop Annibale D'Afflitto. Its boundaries were expanded in 1783 by Monsignor Capobianco, and since 1798 it has been considered an urban parish. The present church, in the Renaissance style, was built in 1930 to a design by Carmelite Father Cesare Umberto Angelini and is located in the center of the city on Via XXV Luglio. The church has three naves and is preceded by a grand staircase that provides access from De Nava Street.
