The Church of Saint Lucia along the Fazan creek was built in the 16th century. It was made for the needs of the saltworkers. The painter Benedetto Carpaccio painted a picture of Maria with her child between Saint George and Saint Lucia, now located in the Town Hall in Piran. The church is today the only one of the seven churches in the valley of the Fazan River. The churches were very similar and modest in decoration and architecture.
