This Romanic church has an asimmetric face. The inside has the form of latin cross with transetto and sesto acuto arches.

the cathedral is situated in a lovely piazza very close to the train station and it is easy to drop in on your way into town. The exterior is perhaps the more interesting part and it is worth walking around the building to see the carvings and stonework. Inside there is a large Tintoretto as well as numerous paintings by lesser known artists, and an ornately carved organ. The cathedral is also known for a lovely mnument to the 24 year old wife of count guigini who died in childbirth. 4 euro entrance fee.

This was a memorable experience for three generations of our family. We will never forget it and appreciate the hospitality of the Lucchese in welcoming outsiders to their Christmas observance.

This church, and Lucca in general, was a very nice part of our stay in Italy. I was unfamiliar with this town and we had a nice half day walking around, going into the various shops and churches. If you're visiting Pisa and have the time, it's worth driving up to Lucca. Also if your an opera buff, Lucca is the birthplace of Puccini and there is a museum for him here.

This church is located on a lovely square, a nice wide open space to take photos. The detail of the building is lovely and worth a visit.

We visited here in October 2013. The outside of the church is not spectacular and the church was built after the campanile which is why it has a cramped and asymmetric appearance. Note the 13th century carvings in the portals by Nicola Pisano and Guidetto da Como. The Tempietto inside houses a painting by Tintoretto.

We travelled to the Cathedral on the way to Pizza. What a fascinating place, a TV company was filming, (possibly Italian Songs of Praise) so the notion of no 'flash' on your camera was a little daft as the TV lights were more than brilliant (?) Nevertheless, it certainly made our visit the more memorable as there were no dark corners that day.Very reasonable entry fee and an awful lot to see. Highly recommended.

This is one of the most famous landmarks in Lucca and in Italian is called the Duomo di San Martino. Built in the 12th century, and It contains carvings by Nicola Pisano and paintings by Tintoretto.Lots to see and you do need to spend a few hours if you are going to get the whole story.One highlight is a large sculptured wooden crucifix from the 13th century which is on show and is carried through the streets of Lucca every September (Lucca week Sept 13th)A tip is to pay the small fee (a few euro) which gets you into the sacristy, which contains the Tomb of Ilaria del Carretto who was the wife of Paolo Guinigi the ruler of Lucca, we found it to be very interesting.

This Church is a work of art and just wonderful. You can spend ages just looking at the beautiful artwork and beauty within.

The walled city of Lucca is called the city of a 100 churches as every street has one. The whole tour was on foot so expect to do a lot of walking and don't get left behind. Once we got to the central square we were welcomed by a big Stars Wars sign as they were just about to host a scifi week the following weekend in the city. We then found marqees everywhere sosome of the history of the city was lost as a result

When you have accepted that the right side of the cathedral looks a bit odd against the Campanile (architectural mistake) one can admire the columns of the Duomo: not one of them is exactly the same as the other. Highlights on the inside are the Volto Santa di Lucca and Jacopo della Quercia's "Sarcophago di Ilaria del Carretto".A pithy that I could not find the Green Man on one of the columns in the atrium.

This cathedral dates back to the 6th century. It is Roman-Pisan in style with a bell tower 60 meters high. It has the plan of a Latin cross with three naves and a transcript, cross vaults supported b huge pillars and pointed arches. There are beautiful frescoes above the altar.

We stopped by Lucca on our way from and to other destinations and what a lovely surprise,This Cathedral like so many others in Italy is lovely.Not as big and bold as others but equally magical and interesting

A must see for Lucca, especially the cross. The murals are beautiful, so much antiquity in one cathedral.
