Santa Lucia, Padua, Baroque church in Padua, Italy
Santa Lucia features a monumental pediment supported by gigantic pilasters, with statues of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the facade niches.
The church dates back to 964, underwent reconstruction after the bell tower collapsed in 1634, and received architectural updates by Girolamo Frigimelica in the 18th century.
The interior walls display panels by Giacomo Ceruti depicting Padua's patron saints, while a painting by Giambattista Tiepolo represents Saint Luke as a painter.
The church maintains perpetual veneration of the Eucharist with 24-hour access every day except Fridays when maintenance occurs between 12:00 and 18:00.
Two children of Galileo Galilei were baptized in this church, which also serves as the final resting place for Lomardo della Seta, a student of Petrarch.
