In Faicchio, the 18th-century church of the Seven Sorrows, with frescoes of the Virgin's sorrows and the statue of St Lucy.

In Via Sette Dolori, on the edge of Faicchio's old town, stands the Church of Santa Lucia, also called the church of the Seven Sorrows after the confraternity that was based there. Built with the offerings of the local people, it was blessed on 8 December 1727. The façade is simple, with two pairs of pilasters and niches, while the back shows the local stone and tuff.Inside, in the single nave, we recommend following the six frescoes dedicated to the sorrows of the Virgin along the walls, to which another was added above the entrance in 1867. We like the inlaid wooden choir, the 1756 statue of Our Lady of Sorrows and the Neapolitan-school Dead Christ. The statue of St Lucy, from 1810, is carried in procession on the first Sunday of August.
