San Micheletto, Romanesque church in Lucca, Italy

The stone church features a mix of architectural styles with a Baroque facade and remnants of Romanesque elements throughout its structure.

The church's foundations date back to 720, with a major reconstruction in 1195 incorporating materials from the original building.

The Fondazione Ragghianti now operates in the former church, maintaining photographic archives and a specialized library for art research.

The deconsecrated church opens its doors for exhibitions and cultural events, offering visitors access to both historical architecture and contemporary art.

The building transformed from religious space to military stables in 1806 before returning to religious use and finally becoming a cultural institution.
