Ex convento e chiesa del Santissimo Salvatore, Renaissance church and convent in Lucera, Italy.
The ex-convent and church of Santissimo Salvatore stand on Belvedere Hill within Lucera's municipal park as a unified complex. The site contains chapels, courtyards, and gardens where early Christian mosaics and artworks from different periods are displayed.
The convent was begun in 1407 by Giovanni Vici da Stroncone and completed by 1418 as a Franciscan friary. Its construction took place on land where an ancient Roman shrine had once stood.
The building now serves as Lucera's main cultural hub, hosting exhibitions and public collections. It functions as a gathering space where locals and visitors engage with art and historical materials.
The site sits within the municipal park and is easily accessible with clear pathways between buildings and gardens. Plan sufficient time to explore the various rooms and collections, particularly if you want to see the mosaics and art exhibitions.
The complex's gardens contain early Christian mosaics from antiquity that were made accessible to the public in 2018. These artworks from the San Giusto period reveal layers of history that predate the convent itself.
