Église Sainte-Lucie de Barletta, Catholic church in the Santa Maria district, Barletta, Italy

Sainte-Lucie is a church building from the 14th century located in the Santa Maria neighborhood of Barletta, near Via Cavour. It has a simple facade with old architectural details and stands as an important part of Italian heritage.

The original church began in the early 1200s as a Dominican convent located outside the city walls. By the late 1300s, the community moved to a new fortified location within the city built by Angevin soldiers.

The church is named after Saint Lucy, to whom the monastic community was dedicated. The complex grew by buying up houses in the Marsican district, and the entrance portal originally opened onto the Strada del Cambio, the old exchange street, at the side of the altar and apse. The nuns kept the church through the 1809 suppression because their number exceeded the twelve required by law.

The entrance is located on Vicoletto Santa Lucia, having been moved from the original Strada del Cambio entrance in the 1960s. The building sits in a quiet residential area accessible from narrow neighborhood streets.

The monastery escaped Murat's 1809 suppression of religious orders because it housed more than the twelve nuns the law required. In 1901 the Santa Lucia tower was demolished for structural failure, and the church closed to the public ten years later, reopening only after gaining parish status in 1966.
