The Baroque church of Santa Lucia in Serra San Quirico was first mentioned in records dating back to 1276. The church passed into the hands of the Sivestrino Order in 1289, when the monks moved there and established a hospice, which became the ‘Monastery of Santa Lucia’. In 1504, the church was elevated to parish status.

The church is small in size but boasts a sumptuous Baroque interior, rich in paintings, stuccoes, carvings and gilding. It has a basilica-style plan with a single nave and an apse. On each side there are three chapels, all featuring altar frontals with polychrome inlay work in scagliola. The second chapel on the left houses the painting Saint Lucy between the Virgin Mary and Saint Catherine, attributed to Guido Reni. In the apse there are five large canvases depicting the Martyrdom of Saint Lucy, works based on designs by Pasqualino Rossi of Vicenza.
