Founded in the 6th century by St. Fridianus, an Irish bishop of Lucca, the basilica features a beautiful interior with a nave and two aisles, adorned with medieval frescoes and stunning artworks. One of the church's notable attractions is the 12th-century baptismal font, which is intricately decorated with scenes from the Old and New Testaments.
