san frediano印象

We were holidaying nearby and rode past each morning on our way to get coffee and one morning we heard singing and quicly stepped in. This Church is lovely and all the more so because a choir of German tourists were signing and the sound was devine

San Frediano is located just a short distance from the Piazza Anfiteatro, the main square of Lucca. It is distinctive because of its beautiful mosaic facade, quite unusual even in Italy.

Don't miss this beautiful church, lovely both inside and out. Remember to look up as you approach to see the paintings
-
So many features to see, with all 'round views and detailed work. Even our teens found this quite amazing. Near Anfiteatro, free to enter 8.30-12 and 2.30-5.30.

This 13th century church is so beautiful. Fridianus (Frediano) was an Irish bishop of Lucca in the first half of the 6th century. In the 13th-14th centuries the striking façade was decorated with a huge golden 13th century mosaic representing The Ascension of Christ the Saviour with the apostles below. Berlinghiero Berlinghieri designed it in a Byzantine/medieval style.

Don't stop with admiring the beautiful fresco on the exterior of this church, go inside and see the gorgeous baptistry (with roman soldiers playing the role of the Egyptians in the Moses story), the actual body of local girl turned saint,St. Zita (a lifetime domestic servant whose saintliness was apparently her virgi it's and her loyalty to her e player and who s now the patron saint of lost keys, domestic advantage, and rape victims), as well as some beautiful artwork, stand windows, and 40 columns which were probably repurposed from the roman ampitheater as well as other roman ruins. Built in the 12th century as the Pope's answer to the bishop of Lucca who had ordered the building of the cattedrale, this church is well worth a visit.

This church was interesting inside and out. Well worth a visit and not necessarily one that is the easiest to find straight away.

This was the only church we went inside of in Lucca. It is a very worthwhile destination. The interior is peaceful and quiet with some very nice objects to view. There were quite a few people visiting on the day we were there, however, it was not congested by any means. The façade, with its magnificent medieval mosaic, is quite unusual. I have not seen many mosaics of this type and style on the exterior of other churches. Definitely worth a visit when in Lucca.

The basilique of San Frediano is famous for its golden and blue mosaic on the outside. Inside you can admire the Fonte Lustrale (where Moses leads his people - dressed as Crusaders - through the Red Sea. You must also have a look at the coloured wooden statue of Maria, Jacopo della Quercia's polyptych and Saint Zita's Chapel (I must admit that she reminded me of an . . . )

View the facade in the a.m. As the sun rises and hits the mosaic directly for photography purposes. Inside is worth a visit and has some great sacred art.
