San Donato Gate, Lucca

Highlight • Monument

It rises on the northwest tilt of the walls between the strongholds of San Donato and Santa Croce. It is one of the best preserved of the city gates of Lucca. The outer facade is supported by the central body surmounted by a large triangular tympanum with rectangular divided by moldings and marble borders. It has a single arch flanked by two pedestrian doors (called fianchette) of which the right one is fake. On the base of the facade are the statues of San Donato and San Paolino. The central marble cartouche with the motto 'Libertas' has been lost; the inner facade is very simple with high windows encompassing the interior and the upper loggia on pillars under which the wall patrol road runs. portcullis, the small guardhouse flanked by two loopholed rooms used as positions for the gunners. In the main guard house there are two more images of devotee: a frescoed Madonna on the hood of the invisible path and a holy face in stucco on the hidden door of the militia.

The piazza is the interior of a Roman amphitheater. The walls are now used for shops and restaurants. On the outside you can still see original parts of the amphitheater.
A beautiful place to sit, eat and drink.

St. Michael's Square

Highlight • Religious Site

Also called "the city of a hundred churches", Lucca is one of the most beautiful and loved cities of art in Tuscany. The amphitheater, its walls, the Cathedral of San Martino are just some of the many attractions not to be missed in this city which is located on the Via Francigena and on the Cammino del Volto Santo. The Volto Santo is a large wooden crucifix found inside the cathedral of San Martino.

September 9, 2022, 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Ciclo murario di Lucca ⛪🏰

A must is to walk around the city walls of Lucca, whether by bike or on foot. The old town is of course also part of it, fantastic alleys, squares, buildings and churches with a Tuscan ambience.
