Monastero di Santa Lucia

Monastero di Santa Lucia, Church building in Adrano, Italy.

The Monastero di Santa Lucia is a Baroque church in Adrano with a central structure crowned by two square towers with domes. The interior features an elliptical nave with a large dome and side aisles that define the building's overall design.

Adelasia, granddaughter of the Norman count Ruggero, founded the monastery in 1157 outside Adrano's medieval walls, near the church of the Madonna della Consolazione; her endowment let poor girls enter without a dowry. It was enlarged in 1596, and the Baroque church was largely rebuilt in the late 18th century to a design attributed to Stefano Ittar.

The monastery's name comes from Saint Lucy, to whom the church is dedicated. Inside, a painting of Saint Lucy being led to martyrdom (1843) is attributed to Giuseppe Rapisardi, and the dome paintings show the Assumption of the Virgin with the four Doctors of the Church in the spandrels, attributed to Vito D'Anna.

The building now functions as part of a school complex and can be viewed from the outside, though it remains in active use. The best views of the facade and domes are available from the adjacent streets.

The dome paintings, framed by stuccoes, show the Assumption of the Virgin and are attributed to Vito D'Anna; the spandrels hold the four Doctors of the Church, and the apse shows the four Evangelists and the Transfiguration of Christ.
