San Ponziano, Lucca, Romanesque church in Lucca, Italy
The church features a single-aisle plan with a slightly projecting apse, white limestone blocks from Santa Maria del Giudice quarries, and an off-center entrance door.
Originally established in the 9th century, the church underwent reconstruction in 1474 when the relics of San Ponziano were transferred to this location.
The interior contains wooden trusses, beams, and ceiling tiles that exemplify the traditional Romanesque architectural elements of religious buildings in Tuscany.
The building now functions as the library of the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, following its deconsecration in the 19th century.
The church's facade incorporates a combination of white limestone, brick, and stone materials, topped with a small bell tower above the entrance.
