San Cristoforo, Cathedral of Barga -Lucca , Italy
Toscana

The Cathedral of Barga stands on a very particular place, facing Monte Forato, a relief on the top of which stands a rocky spur that erosion has modeled in the shape of an arch. This opening means that twice a year, the spectacle of the double sunset occurs,  the perfect alignment of the sun with the buttresses of Monte Forato: when the sun in its apparent motion sets behind the Forato, a second flash of light finds a new passage to irradiate the Lucca part of the Apennines for a short period. Even today, the inhabitants gather and party to admire this natural phenomenon.

The Cathedral of San Cristoforo in Barga is a Romanesque jewel in the highest part of the center of the village which, on the outside, almost resembles a fortress. The original building dates back to before the year 1000 but was modified in the following centuries, with decorative elements ranging from Romanesque to Gothic. The panorama on the roofs and on the surrounding mountains , in this August afternoon , is beautiful.
