The Chiesa di San Michele in Foro is one of the most magnificent Roman Catholic basilicas in Lucca (Tuscany) and is considered a masterpiece of Pisan-Romanesque architecture. The nickname "in Foro" directly refers to its location: it was built exactly on the site of the ancient Roman Forum, the city's former center of trade and justice.

San Martino Cathedral, Lucca

Highlight • Religious Site

In the left transept of the cathedral, which is well worth seeing, is the famous tomb of Ilaria del Caretto, who died in childbed in 1405 at the age of 19 as the wife of a nobleman from Lucca. The portrait is made of the finest Carrara marble and is unusually realistic. Her female body is clearly visible under the robe, while she just seems to be asleep. A small dog watches over her feet, a sign of marital fidelity.
The wooden relic Volto Santo in the cathedral is also very famous.

Piazza dell’Anfiteatro

Highlight • Historical Site

The piazza is the interior of a Roman amphitheater. The walls are now used for shops and restaurants. On the outside you can still see original parts of the amphitheater.
A beautiful place to sit, eat and drink.
