Experts' Choice Award Basilica Di San Frediano
What the experts agree on
San Frediano's glittering 13th-century Byzantine mosaic facade is Lucca's most eye-catching, rivaling the Duomo and San Michele especially in sunlight. Conveniently located near the Anfiteatro.
“Particularly on a sunny day, San Frediano's facade vies with those of the Duomo and San Michele as the most attention-grabbing in town, with a glittering 13th-century mosaic.”
