Basilica of San Frediano, Minor basilica in Lucca, Italy
The Romanesque basilica features a massive golden mosaic on its white marble facade depicting the ascension of Christ among the apostles.
The religious complex originated from a 6th-century church built by Irish bishop Fridianus, which underwent reconstruction between 1112 and 1147.
The interior contains the 12th-century baptismal font with marble panels narrating the story of Moses, carved by master craftsman Roberto.
The basilica opens daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with reduced hours on Saturdays, offering free entry to local residents and disabled visitors.
The left aisle houses the glass shrine containing the preserved body of Saint Zita, drawing numerous pilgrims to this sacred location.
