Santa Maria Corteorlandini, Lucca, Romanesque church in Lucca, Italy
The Santa Maria Corteorlandini church displays a combination of Romanesque, Baroque, and Renaissance architectural elements across its structure and facade.
Archaeological excavations in 2017 revealed a necropolis from the 6th century AD, indicating the presence of earlier religious structures at this location.
The church features an exact replica of the Holy House of Loreto, leading locals to refer to it as Santa Maria Nera for centuries.
The church contains numerous artworks, including silver and lapis lazuli tabernacles, painted ceilings, and frescoes spanning multiple artistic periods.
The brick bell tower from the 14th century stands alongside the church, which became the most important cultural center of Lucca in the 1580s.
