[2025 Lucca Attraction] Travel Guide for Cathedral of Lucca (Updated Feb)

Inside the cathedral, you'll find beautiful stained glass windows, grand sculptures, and paintings. Despite Lucca being a compact city, the cathedral stands out as truly majestic. The ceiling, which is 27.5 meters high, is particularly striking with its deep blue color. The four Evangelists are depicted, creating a solemn atmosphere. In the sacristy, you'll find the tomb of Ilaria del Carretto, the wife of Paolo Guinigi, the de facto ruler of Lucca. Her tombstone sculpture is so beautifully crafted that she appears to be peacefully sleeping, captivating all who see it. Both the facade and the apse of the cathedral are beautifully white and elegant. Duomo di Lucca Piazza Antelminelli, 55100 Lucca LU 9:30-17:00 (until 18:00 on weekends)

If someone plans to visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa, it's best to stay in Lucca (30 minutes by train to Pisa). This place is very distinctive and comfortable. There may not be many famous attractions, but there are many places to see. Its city walls are very intact, wide, and covered with large trees. There's a tower that also has big trees on it, which is rare elsewhere. The circular plaza is truly round, like an enlarged version of a Hakka enclosed house, and only a drone can capture its unique features. Three exquisite churches (San Michele, San Martino, and San Frediano) are all worth visiting and are within a few hundred meters of each other. If it's not a rainy day, it would be beautiful. From 9:30 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, the experience is delightful and leaves you wanting more.
