Chiesa di Santa Lucia

It stands in the pine wood of the hill of Santa Lucia, north-west of Fondo, and the hill already bore that name in the 13th century: a sign that a place of worship dedicated to the saint existed before the present building, which dates from the 14th century. In the area there was a castle founded by Mainardo II in 1271, and the church was built on its ruins.

In 1616 a pastoral visit ordered the frescoes to be covered with whitewash; in 1649 the chancel was found to be in a ruinous condition, and in 1673 the church was altered and enlarged, with the chancel and façade rebuilt. The narrow, long shape it has today, the result of the works of the late 19th century, has been judged unusual for the sacred architecture of the area by the scholars who have studied it.
