"Lucca's Cathedral Dedicated to St. Matthew, Lucca’s beautiful cathedral was built in typical Romanesque style in the 12th century and has a curious asymmetrical, tiered façade covered with fantastically complex carvings. The dim interior houses one of the town’s great artistic treasures, the tomb of Ilaria del Carretto, carved by the Sienese master Jacopo del la Quercia in 1408 for the bride of bigwig Paolo Guinigi who died tragically young. A little dog lies bereft at his mistress’s feet…It’s a real tear-jerker."

The main cathedral of Lucca is Duomo Saint Martino. The Duomo is such a beautiful historic place of worship. The Duomo in Tuscany has such amazing artworks and relics.

Beautiful. Magnificent. Glorious. It is difficult to put in to words the experience of visiting a cathedral such as this. A highlight of Lucca. I'll let the pictures try to show how beautiful it is. I've added more pictures under updates as well.

The Lucca Cathedral is a lovely place. It's really pretty outside and peaceful inside. You can go up the tower for nice views of the city. It's not too busy, so it's a nice place to see if you like old buildings and history.

Definietely worth time and money. Bell tower is the highiest in Lucca and the view just breathtaking. Cathedral has lots of historical aspects to see. Also big + for EN explanations. We went there at thd opening hour at 12 and thr rays of light from the stained glass were really out of this world.

I bought the combo ticket for 10 euro, which includes the cathedral, the bell tower and the museum. The cathedral is the highlight of the show. It is filled with beautiful sculptures , frescos and paintings. The museum is just OK, 10 minutes in and out, not much to see. The view from the top of the bell tower is very good, but you can't take a single photo, because all the windows are covered with dense metal wires.

A beautiful church that one must not miss if one is touring Lucca. Lot of painting from the 1400 and 1500. The interior architecture is heavenly. The cost is $3 for adult with no strict dress code. $0.50 to light an electric candle.
