It is situated on a small hill covered with olive trees, a little outside the Costumi district, in a highly panoramic position. It is an ancient church, whose first official news dates back to the year 1000 and make it fall within the Diocese of Farfa together with the Benedictine convent no longer existing today. At the moment it still preserves a Romanesque structure, but it is made of red bricks and white stone blocks and has a beautiful Renaissance portal surmounted by a round window, while behind it is a long and narrow single window with stone frame. The roof is gabled and in correspondence with the short rear side a bell gable is inserted for a bell. The interior has a single nave without an apse and preserves a font of the late sixteenth century and a fresco of 1660 depicting Saint Lucia.
