    Beautiful, large square in the heart of Lucca. In 1805, Napoleon made Lucca a principality for his sister Elisa Baciocchi, who lived in the adjacent palace. Hence the name of the square.

      In the square is the Monumento a Maria Luisa Borbone.

          The Piazza Napoleone has always been the center of Lucca - both politically and culturally. Today the annual Lucca Summer Festival (LSF) takes place there with a stage right in front of the Palazzo Ducale. The square is lined with plane trees, which were planted during the reign of Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi

            On this large square, in the shade of the plane trees laid out by Elisa Bonaparte, rises the Palazzo Ducale, which was built by the Florentine architect Bartolomeo Ammannati in the 16th century.

              The summer festival takes place here every summer. Surrounded by restaurants that are full of tourists in the summer.
