St. Martin's Cathedral, the center of Lucca's spirituality and an essential stage on the Via Francigena.

Dating from the 11th century, the dome is, along with Piazza San Martino, Lucca's cultural center. 13th-century bas-reliefsdecorate the exterior, including a Deposition from the Cross by Pisano. The interior, rebuilt in the 15th century, features the tomb of Ilaria del Caretto, a 13th-century masterpiece by della Quercia and a Last Supper by Tintoretto. The Tempietto houses the Volto Santo. The story goes that this crucifix was carved just after Christ's Calvary, and thus shows his true face. The towns of Lucca and Luni fought over the precious object, but in the end Lucca inherited it.

Superbe petite cathédrale pleine de charme. Le contraste entre sa façade et la tour la rend encore plus intéressante. Bien observer les détails des bas-reliefs de la façade. Un peu cher si on combine musée et cathédrale.

La visite de la ville de Lucques, Lucca est très agréable , avec ses ruelles , a ne pas manquer la visite de sa cathédrale . De l'extérieur elle est très particulière et unique, a l'intérieur la visite est aussi indispensable pour découvrir d'autres richesses .

Extérieur très intéressant et beau, l'intérieur un peu sombre mais impressionant quand même, surtout la tombe d'Ilaria del Caretto. A ne pas manquer.
