In 1283 the nuns moved from its original site, located outside the ancient city walls, in a new monastery inside them, built on a rock that protrudes over the Gravina close to the eastern city gate; this complex is known as Santa Lucia alla Civita. The church was destroyed while the monastery was destroyed, recently restored, it is in good condition; among the elements that compose it, the Renaissance portal stands out. The nuns abandoned this seat in the late eighteenth century, due to the harsh environmental conditions in which they lived. The new church and the new monastery were built on the Piano next to the Ferdinandea Fountain, hence the name Santa Lucia alla Fontana. Access to the church is mediated by a staircase restored in recent years. The facade has very simple decorative elements; it is divided into two parts by a string course cornice: in the upper part there is a stained glass window embellished with a mixtilinear arch which recalls the end of the facade itself. In the lower part a niche which houses a statue depicting San Benedetto is located above the portal. The bell tower takes up the decorative motifs of the facade. The interior has a single nave, it includes four altars and several works of considerable value and workmanship. The definitive closure of the monastery dates back to 1938, year in which the last member of this community passed away; the church still continues to perform its liturgical functions.
