My Photos: Italy -- Tuscany -- Lucca -- Churches

Here are photos of just a few of the dozens of historic churches within the walled city center of Lucca. Chiesa di San Michele en Foro Construction from 8th Century to 14th Century Legend says that in the 1300s, the bells in this tower could be heard in Pisa, about 12 miles away, so the Doge of Pisa had this belltower shortened. Basilica di San Frediano 1147 AD Chiesa dei Santi Giovanni e Reparata 1187 AD Chiesa di San Salvatore 9th Century AD Basilica dei San Paolino e Donato Rebuilt in the 1515 AD This Madonna on Chiesa di San Michele en Foro, from 1480, celebrated the end of the Plague.
