San Paolino, Lucca

It is dedicated to Saint Paulinus of Antioch, patron of the city.

After the year 1000, the church was rebuilt and dedicated to St Anthony.

In 1515, the architect Baccio da Montelupo made the original designs for the present church, and these were completed by Bastiano Bertolani.

The entrance portal of the marble façade is flanked by niches containing statues (1710) of Saints Donato and Paolino.

The interior has a marble choir by Vincenzo and Nicolao Civitali.
