We are staying in the Lucchese plain between Lucca and Florence. Yesterday we set off to explore the first of these. The focus of the trip was to encounter the Duomo of San Martino with its late 12th century labyrinth carved into the right pier of the porch.

We arrived to discover the porch covered in scaffolding and white plastic netting. Someone had created a hole in the netting through which the labyrinth could be viewed at a distance. Disappointing, but still hoping for closer access next visit.

N.B. A cut has been made in the stone of the labyrinth making it difficult to negotiate the outer circuit. Otherwise it is a perfect 11 circuit medieval labyrinth.
