Ex convento e chiesa del Santissimo Salvatore, Renaissance church and convent in Lucera, Italy.
The Santissimo Salvatore complex stands on Belvedere Hill within the municipal park, occupying the site of an ancient Roman sanctuary.
Construction of the convent started in 1407 under Giovanni Vici da Stroncone and continued until 1418, serving as a center for Franciscan friars.
The building now functions as Lucera's Cultural Center, housing the Ruggiero Bonghi Municipal Library containing 100,000 volumes and rare sixteenth-century books.
The facility includes an art gallery displaying works from local artists and the Posillipo School, alongside early Christian mosaics discovered during archaeological excavations.
The convent's garden, accessible through a masonry arch, presents the San Giusto early Christian mosaics, which were unveiled to the public in December 2018.
