The Sanctuary of Santa Lucia is a Catholic place of worship with Baroque architecture, located on Via Santa Lucia in Santa Lucia, a hamlet of Medesano, in the province and diocese of Parma. It is the seat of a parish in the pastoral area of Pedemontana. HISTORY The original place of worship was built in the Middle Ages; the earliest evidence of its existence dates back to 1354, when the Ecclesia Sancte Lucie de Varano Marchionum was mentioned in the Ratio Decimarum of the diocese of Parma among the dependencies of the church of San Giorgio Martire of Varano dei Marchesi, within the jurisdiction of the parish of Fornovo. In 1565, the temple was rebuilt. On May 13, 1607, the church was solemnly consecrated by the Bishop of Fidenza, Giovanni Giorgio Linati, and two years later it was elevated to the status of an independent parish church. Between 1731 and 1794, the place of worship was completely rebuilt in Baroque style; the rectory was also built adjacent to it. On October 21, 1952, the church was elevated to the status of a diocesan sanctuary dedicated to the virgin and martyr Saint Lucy. Around 1960, the church underwent restoration work.

Stunning landscapes

A short detour to visit the town center (and perhaps stop at a bar for a snack)

It's impossible to reach, but it's always a pleasure to admire. It's clearly visible from various points in our Apennines.

A pleasant spot to visit and with great views. There are some exposed sections at the top, so be very careful, especially if you're traveling with children.

Built in Baroque style between 1670 and 1715 to replace the medieval chapel of the castle that had been abandoned in those years, the church was renovated several times in the 19th century and enriched with the bell tower in 1843; decorated internally in neo-Renaissance style in 1933, it was restored externally in 2017. The place of worship preserves various valuable works, including a 13th-century bronze processional cross, a statue of the Madonna dell'Annunciazione made within the century and some paintings.
