Lucca A pearl of Tuscany

The Amphitheatre Square

was built on the ruins of an

ancient Roman

amphitheatre, as we can see

from its elliptical shape.

The walls are the best

example in Europe of walls

built according to the

principles of modern

defensive works. They are

long about 4 km and 450 m.

On the walls there is a 4 km long promenade.

San Martino is

Lucca’s Gothic-

Romanesque

Cathedral.

The Temple of the Holy Face is a small

octagonal dome. Inside there is the Holy

Face, a wooden Crucifix

The sarcophagus of Ilaria del Carretto,

Paolo Guinigi’s wife, is placed inside

San Martino.

The basilica of St. Frediano is one of the oldest churches in Lucca.

The Guinigi Tower is one of

the few left in the city centre

and one of the most

representative of Lucca. Its

main feature is a grove of

holms on its top.

Guinigi Tower.

During the “Risorgimento”

writers and artists used

to go to this café.
