San Giusto, Romanesque church in Lucca, Italy
The church features a nave with two aisles and apses, displaying white and black striped decorations forming two small superimposed loggias at the top of the façade.
Originally constructed in the second half of the 12th century, San Giusto replaced an earlier religious structure on the same location in central Tuscany.
The central portal, created by Guidetto's workshop, incorporates decorative elements including twisted atlases supporting lions and vegetable motifs with fantastic creatures.
The interior space underwent modifications during the 17th century, resulting in a Baroque style that differs from the exterior Romanesque architecture.
The façade includes three distinct entrances, with the central portal displaying an archivolt decorated in alternating black and white rows supported by cubes with Classical masks.
