Experience the best of 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.

The Cathedral of San Martino keeps the Volto Santo, a revered wooden crucifix, and the Romanesque church of San Michele in Foro has a richly carved façade. Giacomo Puccini was born here in 1858, and concerts are held in churches and squares. Beyond the walls, the coast of Versilia is half an hour away, Pisa lies about twenty kilometres south-west, and the wooded Garfagnana valley and the Apuan Alps rise to the north.

Tordelli lucchesi, meat-filled pasta in a meat sauce, farro soup from the Garfagnana, and buccellato, a sweet bread with raisins and aniseed, are local classics, and the surrounding hills produce olive oil and wine. Chestnut flour from the mountains goes into cakes and bread. Lucca's comics fair fills the streets each autumn.
