Chiesa Santa Maria di Lugo

One of the most important monuments of the Municipality of Campagna Lupia from a historical and religious point of view.

Built in ancient times, probably in the second half of the 13th century, in a territory that was then inhabited and fertile, it remained isolated when the area became marshy following the hydraulic works implemented by the Republic of the Serenissima to safeguard the Lagoon.

It is oriented East-West, typical of Paleochristian and Romanesque churches.

 During the restoration in 1468, a small chapel and the sacristy were completed on the east side. Traces of frescoes can be seen on the walls, while they have a 16th-century origin. A true architectural gem is the bell tower, with a late Romanesque style, quadrangular with decorative motifs equally traced on all four sides.

 Inside the church is the archaeological museum of Campagna Lupia.

The small church of Santa Maria di Lugo was built in the first half of the thirteenth century. It was built in an area that was previously inhabited until, after hydraulic works to save the lagoon, the area became marshy. It is known that in 1468 the sacristy was built. In 1700 this church was completely restored at the behest of Monsignor De Zacchi. Of the restoration remains the epigraph placed on the upper part of the only altar.

From March to October: Sunday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
