Lucca Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Lucca, Italy
The cathedral features a grand marble facade with three arches, decorated with intricate sculptures and columns in pink, green, and white stone patterns.
Bishop Anselm initiated the construction in 1063, and the Gothic-style nave and transepts underwent reconstruction during the fourteenth century modifications.
The Holy Face of Lucca, a cedar-wood crucifix housed in an octagonal temple, attracts numerous visitors during the September 14 Holy Cross celebrations.
The cathedral opens daily for visits, with access to the main nave, side chapels, and the tomb of Ilaria del Carretto by Jacopo della Quercia.
The labyrinth embedded in the right portico pier displays the Chartres pattern and predates the famous French example with mythological references.
