Lucca Cathedral, or Duomo di San Martino in Italian, is a stunning Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Lucca, Italy. Its impressive and unique façade houses a cedar-wood crucifix that is believed to have been carved by contemporary Nicodemus and miraculously conveyed to Lucca in 782. Visitors admire its Gothic and Romanesque architecture for the decorative arcades, magnificent arches, and sculptural work that adorn its walls. Additionally, visitors can marvel in works of art by artists like Domenico Ghirlandaio and Fra Bartolomeo, as well as the tomb of Ilaria del Carretto by Jacopo della Quercia. The mystery of the varying columns of the façade has an interesting legend in which all the artists that created them were never paid yet the inhabitants still used their creations. Finally, those wishing to “navigate” through history can follow the 12th century Chartres pattern labyrinth embedded in one of the portico piers. All in all, Lucca Cathedral offers its visitors a rich cultural experience of both medieval legends and exquisite artworks.
