Abbey of Santa Lucia, Romanesque abbey in Rocca di Cambio, Italy.

The Abbey of Santa Lucia features a Latin cross layout with three equal naves, a Romanesque portal, and a small medieval rose window.

The first written record of the Abbey of Santa Lucia appears in a 1313 inventory of the L'Aquila diocese, marking its established presence in central Italy.

The abbey walls display medieval frescoes depicting the Last Supper, scenes from Jesus' life, and religious figures including a representation of Pope Celestine V.

Located on a plateau along the Via Claudia Nova between Alba Fucens and Aveia, the abbey opens for religious services and classical music concerts in summer.

The underground crypt preserves fragments of the original Santa Lucia church and contains 14th and 15th-century frescoes attributed to Andrea Di Litio.
