BASILICA PALEOCRISTIANA di Luni

The Basilica Paleocristiana di Luni, also known as Luni Cathedral or the Pieve of Santa Maria, stands near the ancient port of Luni in Liguria. Built by the Romans in the late 4th and early 5th century, it served as the centre of the Diocese of Luni. Archaeological discoveries confirm its early Christian origins, marking it as a significant ecclesiastical site from the twilight of the Roman Empire. Today, its ruins offer a quiet testament to the region’s layered history, where Roman engineering met the nascent Christian faith.
