Santa Lucija, a typical hamlet past the village of ta’ Kercem, is named after the dedication of an old chapel of Saint Lucy, recorded as early as 1575.

Santa Lucija church, first recorded in 1575, was rebuilt from its foundations in the 1790s, but it was last enlarged in 1950. The saint, invoked by those who have problems with their eyesight, has many devotees who flock to the church on 13 December, the feastday. The village square is dominated with a typical stone cross in its centre.
