In the Goleto Abbey, the church of San Luca from 1255: pointed vaults, a rose window and a staircase with a serpent handrail.

Within the complex of the Goleto Abbey, in the territory of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, the upper church known as San Luca was built in 1255 at the behest of Abbess Marina II, to house the relics of the Evangelist. It is reached by a staircase whose handrail is carved as a serpent with an apple in its mouth.The façade has an arched doorway with inscriptions and a six-light rose window. Inside, two naves are covered by pointed cross vaults supported by columns with leaf capitals; few frescoes remain, including the medallions of the abbesses Scholastica and Marina. We also suggest looking at the outer apses, with buttresses decorated with animal heads.
