Borgo Santa Lucia

The high part of Santa Lucia street in 1865

Borgo Santa Lucia, or simply Santa Lucia ("Saint Lucy [Borough]"), is a historical rione of Naples, Italy, facing the coast. The area rises around the street of the same name, in turn named after the basilica of Santa Lucia a Mare [it], the presence of which is attested since the 9th century, in spite of legend that would have it founded by a granddaughter of Constantine I.
