OMG.....the roman ruins under the cathedral are amazing. This made my holiday worthwhile, and I loved it ❤️

Wirklich sehenswerter Kathedrale. Renovierung scheint gerade fast abgeschlossen zu sein, was einen guten Eindruck über die ursprüngliche Farbigkeit erlaubt. Eintritt für die Kirche 3 Euro.

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.

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.

Absolutely beautiful place to visit. The history is so fascinating and beautiful. The architecture is amazing. Every wall and every column is breathtaking! Take the time to stop and visit. You won’t be disappointed!

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.

Nice to look at but not worth the travel.

One of the most beautiful places I've seen in my trip! I was impressed by the glass work done in the church and still am. The roof is follows same path. And a good characteristic of the visit, is not a expensive.

Lucca is a hidden treasure, the town is historical in every inch it's a must visit while you visit Tuscany.
its a medieval cityscape, well preserved, so you can stroll through Lucca's picturesque alleyways, across impressive squares.

Went to the Puccini and Mozart summer concert series. There were 2 Opera singers, one Soprano and one Alto, and a Pianist. We were in a small church next to the Basilica museum, and the sound was incredible! The concert lasted about an hour. A wonderful experience. Arrive early, close to 6pm, when they open the doors. We had front row seats :)

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.

Die Kathedrale San Martino ist ein beeindruckendes Bauwerk, das im späten 12. Jahrhundert erbaut wurde und seitdem viele Besucher aus der ganzen Welt anzieht. Die Architektur ist atemberaubend und die Details sind wunderschön. Die Kathedrale ist ein Ort der Ruhe und des Friedens, der zum Verweilen einlädt. Der Blick von oben über die Stadt ist umwerfend!
