Museo della Cattedrale

This guide to the Museo della Cattedrale in Lucca opens at the cathedral's porch, where a small marble maze has been carved into the stone since the twelfth century, with Latin lettering naming Daedalus, Theseus and the thread of Ariadne. It follows medieval pilgrims who traced the labyrinth with a fingertip before stepping inside, and the carved figures at its center that centuries of touch have worn away. Trace it with your own fingertip before stepping in, the way travelers have for eight centuries.
