The most impressive door in Lucca?

There are many wonderful doorways in Lucca, but this one in Via Filungo is my favourite. It is really 2 doors, but that old arch brings them together.

The big carved wooden doors are usually open, leading to a private courtyard. They must have once allowed horse drawn carriages through.

The wooden doors have 2 huge knockers.

…and beautiful carved panels.

There is a device above to hold a torch.

 

I’ll be on the lookout for a better one, but I doubt I will find anything as impressive as this one.
