Frosinone, Church of Saint Lucia

Frosinone, Church of Saint Lucia

A first church dedicated to Saint Lucia was built in Frosinone in the sixteenth century by Bishop Ennio Filonardi as a place to bury those condemned to death.

In its place was later built the building of the Bank of Italy.

A new church of Saint Lucia was built in 1840 in the shape of a small temple in neoclassical style in the centre of Frosinone.

This small building has miraculously remained standing through the terrible bombing of the Second World War that destroyed 95% of buildings.
