Cathedral of Lucca Review

The Cathedral of St. Martin of Lucca is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to the Church of St. Martin of Tours of Lucca, Italy. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Lucca. Bishop Anselm began construction in 1063. In the original structure, the towering cylindrical arcades and the exquisite back hall of the bell tower are preserved. The cathedral's nave and half-door were rebuilt in the 14th century in Gothic style, while the western line was started in 1204 by Komo's Guido Bigarelli, with a wide porch consisting of three magnificent arches above three open spaces decorated with sculptures.

Through the gates into Lucca, the beautiful marble inlays on the front of the church in San Martino are stunning, and occasionally three or two tourists or locals pass by on bicycles, the winter sun shines warmly on their bodies, and even feels a little quieter than pizza. Buy a joint ticket to the cathedral and museum, the church of San Giovanni and the underground archaeological area. Maybe there are not many tourists here, and even the aunt at the ticket office is very enthusiastic to show me the way.

In fact, St. Martin's Cathedral is the largest church in Lucca, but St. Michel's Church is more famous than it, and you need to buy tickets to enter. There are many churches in the town, which are very quiet and beautiful.

The Cathedral of St. Martin, located in the center of Lucca, is a Roman-style building built in the 11th century. The first floor of the Roman cloister structure is a Gothic bell tower on the edge of the church. The facade of the church is decorated with three Roman columns, which is particularly noble.
