Itinerary
One of the first stops will be the beautiful cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and San Genesio, a beautiful church that dominates the oldest part of the city
Once you climb to the highest part of the city, you will have the opportunity to admire the symbol of the city of San Miniato: the Rock of Frederick II.
A beautiful Sanctuary at the foot of the Rock of Frederick II, a favorite destination for couples who must get married! A very simple church on the outside but hiding inside wonderful decorations and a miraculous crucifix (can only be admired in the last week of October). In some periods the opening of the Shrine is not guaranteed.
Walking through the narrow streets of San Miniato we'll also have the opportunity to see the Palazzo del Seminario overlooking the entire Piazza della Repubblica (also known as Piazza del Seminario) with its frescoes and ancient fourteenth-century shops

About Lucca
Lucca is a walled Tuscan city of Renaissance ramparts, narrow lanes and an oval piazza, and the birthplace of the composer Giacomo Puccini.
Lucca is enclosed by intact Renaissance walls, about four kilometres around, topped by a tree-lined promenade used for walking and cycling above the rooftops. Within them the medieval street plan survives, with Via Fillungo as its shopping spine and many towers and churches. The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is an oval square built on the footprint of a Roman amphitheatre, and the Guinigi Tower grows holm oaks on its roof.
Top-ranked sights in Lucca: Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, Lucca Cathedral (Duomo di Lucca), Church of San Michele in Foro (Chiesa di San Michele in Foro).
