Lucca Cathedral - Italy

"Curious fingers have erased the image of Theseus killing the Minotaur from the centre of a maze carved into a wall in Lucca Cathedral Italy. The maze measures 49 cm. (19.5 in) across - small for an Italian maze. Beside it, the Latin inscription explains: "This is the labyrinth which the Cretan Daedalus constructed, out of which nobody could get who was inside, except Theseus. Nor could he have done it unless he had been helped by Ariadne's thread, all for love.
