Church of Santa Lucia in Amalfi

The church of Santa Lucia is reached along the Salita Tirabasso: you enter through a gate topped by a lunette with the Madonna and Child, while a small bell gable stands slightly set back. Founded in the 12th century and once dedicated to Saint Simon, it was entirely rebuilt in the 17th century.The interior is a single rectangular hall with a barrel vault, lit by two trefoil windows. We like its Baroque dress with Neoclassical touches: stucco, curving frames, pilasters and two small frescoes on the vault. The niches hold statues of the Madonna delle Grazie, the Sacred Heart, Saint Lucy and Saint Expeditus, together with some canvases.
