Basilica of St. Paulinus, Renaissance minor basilica in Lucca, Italy
The Basilica of St. Paulinus displays Renaissance architectural elements with a symmetrical facade and classical decorative features throughout its stone structure.
The remains of San Paolino, the first bishop of Lucca, were discovered in the 13th century and now rest in an ornate urn behind the basilica's high altar.
On July 12th, the basilica holds its patronal feast, where the community gathers to honor Saint Paulino through traditional ceremonies and religious observances.
The basilica stands at Via San Paolino 49 in Lucca, with regular masses held daily and special guided tours available upon request through the parish office.
Each summer, municipalities of Lucca province take turns presenting oil offerings for the perpetual lamp that burns in dedication to San Paolino.
