Façade of San Martino Cathedral

95
The Cathedral of San Martino (11th c. onward) showcases an asymmetrical Romanesque façade adorned with arcades, sculptures, and biblical scenes. The soaring bell tower reflects a mix of styles from cc. of construction. Its elegant marble design and detailed reliefs mirror Lucca’s spiritual and civic pride.
