Lucca City Walls
Lucca's Renaissance city walls are unique in Italy: they were never breached in battle and have been converted into a 4.2-kilometer tree-lined promenade that circles the entire old town. Free to walk or cycle.
Square in Lucca
Piazza dell'Anfiteatro
Piazza dell’Anfiteatro is an oval-shaped square built on the footprint of the 2nd-century Roman amphitheater, with houses constructed into the former arena walls. Free. The shape of the amphitheater is perfectly preserved in the building lines. The square has cafes and restaurants at moderate prices. Budget travelers enter through one of the four arched passages and stand inside a Roman amphitheater that became a medieval neighborhood.
