Siracusa, Chiesa di Santa Lucia alla Badia
A church and monastery at the site, attached to a female Benedictine monastery was present by the mid-15th century, putatively with the patronage or Queen Isabelle of Spain.
The monastery and church were destroyed by the 1693 Sicily Earthquake. The present church was reconstructed between 1695 and 1703. The structure of the church was heavily damaged during the Second World War, and various restorations took place in the 20th century. The tile flooring of the nave was replaced in 1970.
