Description

The Church of San Leonardo in Borghi is a church in Lucca, located in Via San Leonardo.

Built in 1118, it was decommissioned during the Napoleonic period, and completely renovated when it was reopened for worship in 1821.
Of the medieval structures, only the south side remains, reused in the current building.
Of the old furniture, the Madonna in Glory between Saints Leonard and Mark the Evangelist by Giovanni Marracci has survived. A number of paintings previously located in the ruined Oratory of Gonfalone are also included in the heritage, including the Madonna of Mercy by Paolo Biancucci and the Madonna of the Miracles by Gaspare Mannucci, which is kept in the sacristy. In 1917 a chapel was opened which is the only organic example of Art Nouveau in a Lucchese church, and where a Madonna and Child by sculptor Augusto Passaglia is venerated.
