Basilica di San Frediano
The Basilica of San Frediano originally was built in the first half of the VI century. The church acquired its present appearance of a typical Roman basilica during the period 1112-1147. In the 13th-14th centuries, the façade was decorated with a huge golden 13th-century Byzantine mosaic which is very rare in the Romanesque style. The mosaic represents The Ascension of Christ the Saviour. The apostles below originally venerated the image of the Virgin Mary, but there is now a window in this place. Lucca, Italy.
