This is Saint Michael killing a serpent.
This is one of the columns.
This is a frieze on top of the door to San Michele. On it there is a dragon, a centaur and a two-tailed merman.

Facades in Lucca

This is San Frediano. The mosaic is of Jesus Christ.
This is another little church which I don't know the name of.

Love the columns especially - can you imagine the guy chiselling away, worrying if the whole thing is going to crack?
It's even fancier than the Ayuntamiento in Sevilla.

I wonder how difficult it might be to swim with two tails? Maybe the mermen really wanted legs.
