Lucca

Lucca is a fortress town surrounded by an intact Renaissance-era wall.

 

 

The walls became a pedestrian promenade and today each of the four principal sides is lined with a different tree species.

 

 

 

Lucca used to have a Roman amphitheater (which seated 10,000). The amphitheater has since been repurposed as a piazza with apartments, shops, and restaurants.

 

 

Here are some other sites from around Lucca.
