Discover Lucca
Lucca is one of the most beautiful and charming cities in Tuscany, and an unforgettable stop on the Via Francigena. Its main distinguishing feature are its impressive Renaissance walls, which remain intact and have been converted into a raised urban park. For pilgrims, strolling or simply resting on these walls under the shade of their trees is a unique and relaxing experience. Lucca's historic center is a treasure trove of medieval streets, squares, and an astonishing number of Romanesque churches. The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, built over the ruins of a Roman amphitheater, is one of Italy's most original and beautiful squares. The Cathedral of San Martino, which houses the "Volto Santo", and the church of San Michele in Foro are must-see visits. Born the composer Giacomo Puccini, the city breathes music and art. It offers a perfect balance between monumental heritage and a serene and elegant atmosphere, an oasis of beauty at the heart of Tuscany.
