San Salvatore, Romanesque church in central Lucca, Italy.

The church structure features white limestone walls, a single hall plan with a protruding apse, and a gable bell tower on the facade.

The original church documented in the 8th-century Codex underwent reconstruction in the 12th century, using stones from medieval town walls for its foundation.

The exterior architraves display intricate 12th-century reliefs, including scenes of a Eucharistic meal and a miracle of San Nicolao Prete by sculptor Biduino.

The church maintains regular visiting hours and stands near Nottolini's fountain in Piazza del Salvatore, offering access to both religious and architectural enthusiasts.

The interior houses multiple art pieces, including a 1561 Ascension by Vezzano and a 14th-century wooden crucifix at the main altar.
