NOTES: The Palazzo Micheletti, which is adjacent to the church of Santi Giovanni e Reparata was built in the second half of the 16th century. The distinctive rustication around the entrance and window grills has been attributed to Bartolomeo Ammannati, who was working in Lucca on the Palazzo Pubblico at the time.

NOTES: The church was founded as early as 795, but the present building was largely constructed in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries, although work continued until the 14th century. The facade is a mixture of the 13th century (lower half) and the upper part (third and fourth tiers) are 14th century when there was a proposal to heighten the nave. The tiers of blind arcading which cover the upper part of the facade were also restored in the 19th century.
NOTES: The church dates back to the 11th century but was reconstructed in the 12th century. The upper part of the facade (not seen) was rebuilt in the 19th century.

NOTES: This church was built around the middle of the 11th century and apart from some hanging arches (12th century) and a 15th century doorway on the southern elevation, it is a complete example of the early Romanesque style in Lucca.
