The facade deserves a closer look. Each column is unique.
Duomo di San Martino. (Seethis site for information.)
A view of Lucca from a bell tower, the Apuan Alps in the background. Notice the overhanging branches from trees growing on top of the tower.

This mosaic, designed by Berlinghiero Berlinghieri depicting the ascension of Christ, is worth a closer look.
Closer still.
And just a little closer. Even with all these iterations, it's difficult to get the sense of how painstakingly grand and beautiful this mosaic is. It's big and it's breathtaking. I guess you'll just have to come see it for yourself!
