As with a few other Lucca attractions this Basilica calls for a visit. Artwork, carvings, displays are worth every minute of the visit. The monumental golden mosaic on the facade is breathtaking. The 12th century baptismal font is a must see. This is also the resting place for Santa Zita (1212-1272) and she is on display inside the Basilica. Please be respectful when visiting the Basilica and dress appropriately.

We visited in May and were pleased to see that a new museum has now opened, and it complements and supplements the church quite well. The museum focuses on the life of Santa Gemma and contains many genuine relics of her life, some of which are quite touching. Her fingerless gloves, for example, were worn to cover the marks of the stigmata, and the last bits of clothing she wore show the stains of her death from tuberculosis. In addition, the museum has a first-class collection of relics of other saints. Truly a magnificent array of mementos tastefully arranged in several glass cabinets. The Santuario is just outside the walls and is a short walk from the Porta Elisa.
