Church of the Suffragio, Lucca

Construction of the church began in 1632 or 1634 on the site of a cemetery where victims of the plague of 1630–1631 were buried. It was designed by Francesco Buonamici, an architect from Lucca, and it is the only building he designed in his hometown. The church has been deconsecrated, and it is now used as an auditorium. Restoration works were carried out by Spira Srl at the behest of the Lucca municipality between 2001 and 2002. == Architecture ==

The church's façade is subdivided into three bays, which are marked by pilasters, and it contains three arches which lead to a vaulted vestibule containing the main entrance. Internally, the church has a single nave with side chapels. == References ==
