Historic Centre of Lucca

Highlight • Historical Site

The birthplace of Giacomo Puccini. is a gem that no one should ignore. Behind the heavy fortress walls that bear witness to a glorious past, lies a particularly atmospheric medieval town with rich and exceptional architecture. Life is good in Lucca, where cyclists and pedestrians come and go in the lively, narrow streets. Because of the church facades that almost look like lace, the two old towers that have been saved from the hundred that used to reach the sky and the oval-shaped Piazza dell'Anfiteatro with its cozy terraces, it is tempting to stay a little longer in Lucca.

Lucca City Walls

Highlight • Monument

Built between the 1500s and 1600s, the walls of Lucca are, after those of Nicosia, the second largest example in Europe of walls built according to the principles of "modern style" fortification that have been completely preserved in a large city.

Lucca City Walls

Highlight • Monument

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.
