Façade of San Michele in Foro

The façade of San Michele in Foro (11th–14th cc.) features Romanesque design with open arcades, twisted columns, and sculpted capitals, reflecting Lucca's wealth and civic pride. At the top, the Archangel Michael triumphs over the dragon. This ornate exterior contrasts with the humble basilica behind, illustrating the union of spectacle and faith in medieval architecture.
