The Basilica of San Frediano is a Romanesque church in Lucca, built between 1112 and 1147 on the site of a 6th-century church founded by Bishop Frediano. Its façade carries a large 13th-century gold mosaic of the Ascension. Inside are a carved 12th-century baptismal font and the preserved body of Saint Zita.
Lucca Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Martin, was begun in 1060 by Bishop Anselm and consecrated in 1070; its arcaded marble facade was started in 1204 by Guido Bigarelli, and the nave was rebuilt in Gothic style in the 14th century. Inside are the Volto Santo crucifix, Jacopo della Quercia's tomb of Ilaria del Carretto and a Last Supper by Tintoretto.
The Museo Nazionale di Palazzo Mansi fills the palace of the Mansi, a Lucca merchant family who bought it in 1616 and refitted it in Baroque taste. Its state rooms keep their frescoes, furniture and Brussels tapestries, and the picture gallery shows paintings of the 16th to 18th centuries, among them works by Pontormo and Tintoretto.
