Chiesa di Santa Lucia, Baroque church in central Bologna, Italy

The Chiesa di Santa Lucia features a plain brick facade and six lateral chapels aligned along a spacious nave in the central district of Bologna.

The original church from 432 was destroyed by Hungarian invasions in 903, leading to reconstruction by the Order of Canons Lateran in 1208.

The interior decoration reflects the architectural principles of the Jesuit order, following the style of their mother church, the Gesù in Rome.

Located at Via Castiglione 36, the former church now functions as the main lecture hall for the University of Bologna after restoration in 1986.

The crypt contained the remains of Mexican Jesuit Francisco Javier Clavigero until 1970, when they were transferred to Mexico City.
