Santa Lucia Square in Syracuse is a historical and architectural treasure located in the Borgata neighborhood, a former fishing area. Despite not being extremely popular, the square exudes a unique serenity. It showcases remarkable architectural balance, hosting the Basilica of Santa Lucia outside the walls and the Sepulcher Chapel of Santa Lucia (below street level). The basilica, originally Byzantine and reconstructed in Baroque style after the 1693 earthquake, is traditionally the site of the martyrdom of Santa Lucia. The church's nave was decorated by Caravaggio, who created "The Burial of Santa Lucia," now in the Church of Santa Lucia alla Badia. The church also houses the tomb of Santa Lucia and provides access to the catacombs of the same name, the second largest in the Western world after those in Rome. The Sepulcher Chapel, adjacent to the basilica, is the work of architect Giovanni Vermexio with an octagonal plan and Corinthian capitals.
