Santa Lucia in Selci, Baroque church in Monti district, Rome, Italy
Santa Lucia in Selci features a rectangular ground plan with a single nave, shallow lateral chapels, and a barrel vault ceiling adorned with religious paintings.
The initial structure, established between 498 and 514 under Pope Symmachus, served as a diaconia for distributing grain during the decline of the Roman Empire.
The church exhibits paintings by Giovanni Lanfranco depicting the Martyrdom of Saint Lucy and Andrea Camassei's Vision of Saint Augustine within its decorated chambers.
Located at Via in Selci 82 in Rome, the church remains under the care of Augustinian nuns who maintain the connected monastery since 1568.
Carlo Maderno's 1604 reconstruction deliberately excluded a proper facade due to the church's integration within the monastery complex.
