Lucca Main Sights



While the city expanded and modernized, the walls around the old city remained intact - something unusual for cities in the region.
As the walls have lost their military importance, they have become a pedestrian path that encircles the old city.
For some years in the twentieth century they were used for racing cars.
Each of the four principal sides is lined with different species of trees.
