The Santa Lucia auditorium is a concert hall set up in the deconsecrated church of the same name,[1] formerly Santa Maria in Pensulis, located in the historic center of Gaeta, in the province of Latina, on Via Ladislao.[2]
It is the oldest church in the city,[3][4] being the result of the 11th-century expansion of a pre-existing early medieval place of worship;[5] closed to worship in 1966, it was deconsecrated in 1972 and is owned by the municipality of Gaeta.[6] The building is, together with the church of San Giovanni a Mare, an example of Gaeta's Romanesque architecture, characterized by early Christian and Byzantine influences.[7]
