San Michele in Foro is a stunning Roman Catholic basilica located in the heart of Lucca, Italy. Renowned for its exquisite Pisan Romanesque architecture, the church dates back to the 8th century, though its current form was primarily constructed in the 12th century. The facade is particularly noteworthy, featuring intricate carvings and a series of tiered arcades adorned with statues, including a prominent figure of the Archangel Michael slaying a dragon. The interior, though more austere compared to the elaborate exterior, houses significant artworks, including a Madonna and Child by Andrea Della Robbia.
