Santa Lucia, Bologna

Santa Lucia is a large, deconsecrated Roman Catholic church, located on Via Castiglione #36 in central Bologna.

The building's brick facade was never completed; however, the Jesuits, owners of the church for over two centuries, decorated the interior with Baroque chapels, aligned along a spacious nave.

For over a century, after suppression of the church, the building had multiple secular uses, as a barracks, warehouse, training workshop, and even a gym.

In 1775, the Jesuits were suppressed and the church briefly passed to the Barnabite order,[2] only to be cloistered by Napoleonic forces.

The interior has a chapel dedicated Saint Louis Gonzaga with an altar (1763) designed by Alfonso Torreggiani.
