Saint Luca is a place inhabited already in Roman times, today a small hamlet of Montefalco. There are numerous finds and reuses of ancient material that testify the presence in the area of settlements and places of worship from the Roman age. In the Middle Ages, the settlement was structured as a simple inhabited nucleus born around the church dedicated to the Evangelist. The current parish church, dedicated to Saint Luca and built starting from 1934 on the site of the old church, is today the main building of the town together with Villa Zuccari, that is an important historical residence already present in the sixteenth century. There are three aedicules in the town: among them the most important is one with a nineteenth-century representation of Our Lady of Sorrows, built in a private house at the main crossroads. Not far from the town stands the important Sanctuary of the Madonna della Stella: it was erected immediately after 1861 following an apparition of the Virgin in the place where the ruins of the Church of San Bartolomeo stood.
