Lucca's city wall has enclosed the old city center since 180 BC. The current wall, built between 1504 and 1645, served as a defense against attacks from nearby Florence. The only use of the wall as a defense line was against the waters of the River Serchio on November 18, 1812. As one of the best-preserved examples of a 16th-century European fortification, the wall remains an impressive symbol of Lucca's rich history.

The city wall is really impressive and a landmark of the city. It goes all the way around and is wide enough to walk, cycle or run around.

The city walls of Lucca, like those of Pisa, are well preserved, making them ideal for wonderful walks and bike rides. Characteristic of the city walls are the wide tree-lined avenues and the beautiful views over the city. The city walls were built around 1500 and completed in 1645.
