Lucca. San Frediano Basilica

The Basilica of San Frediano is yet another sublime religious structure in the heart of Lucca.This building is renowned for its front façade that contains a beautiful mosaic and its impressive ornate bell tower.During the 14th century the mosaic was added to the front of the church and has remained in remarkable condition to this day.Depicted in the mosaic is the Assension of Christ – you can clearly see the central figure of Christ surrounded by angels and his apostles – the detail and colours are simply fantastic.The ornate decoration continues inside the church and a notable feature includes a finely decorated 12th century font complete with stone carvings.
