Lonely Planet review for Chiesa di Santa Lucia al Sepolcro

The northern end of one of the city's biggest squares, Piazza Santa Lucia, is dominated by the Chiesa di Santa Lucia al Sepolcro. The 17th-century church is built on the spot where the city's patron saint, Lucia, an aristocratic girl who devoted herself to saintliness after being blessed by St Agatha, was martyred in 304. Underneath the church is an impressive network of catacombs (not open to the public) that are the largest in Italy after those in Rome.
