Lucca’s Duomo (Cattedrale di San Martino)

Lucca is known as the “City of a Hundred Churches” because of the many beautiful Romanesque churches within its walls, one of which is San Michele in Foro. The legends and emotions associated with the Lucca Cathedral are numerous. Before entering the church, take a look at the Romanesque exterior, which features an elegant portico, arcades, and beautifully decorated doors. Take note of the vividly expressive equestrian sculpture (circa 1240) dedicated to the event that changed San Martino’s life.
