The current church of Santa Lucia was built in 1930 on a former church site dating back to the 17th century when the parish was founded. The neo-Renaissance church has three naves and is preceded by a large staircase that leads to the Via De Nava.
The Sanctuary of St. Anthony was built in the 1930s in a sober Gothic style. Its facade is very particular, divided into three sectors with a central rose window and two lateral bell towers. The crosses above the three sectors are made of wrought iron and the two bell towers are characterized by arrows and high relief decorations.
The church of San Giorgio al Corso was built as a parish church at the end of the 16th century, but after its complete destruction by the 1908 earthquake, it was rebuilt in 1935. On the side of the church are the archaeological remains of a religious structure of the medieval city of Reggio.
The current building of the Church of Jesus and Mary is a 20th-century reconstruction, after the destruction of the old church during the 1908 earthquake. The crypt preserves the so-called "varettes", papier-mâché figures led in procession on Good Friday.
