Church of Santa Lucía, Santander, Catholic church in central Santander, Spain.

The Santa Lucia Church features a single wide nave with side chapels, a semicircular apse, and a portico supported by Ionic columns accessed by stairs.

The construction of the church began in 1854 and completed in 1868, following plans designed by architect Antonio Zabaleta between 1852 and 1854.

The interior holds valuable artworks including a 13th-century Gothic carving of the Virgin and Child, and a painting of Saint Lucy by French artist Paul Ratier.

Located between Daoiz y Velarde and Gomez Orena streets, the church serves as an active religious center offering daily masses and special ceremonies.

The church served as temporary headquarters for the Santander bishopric from 1941 to 1953 while the cathedral underwent reconstruction after a fire.
