Is it possible to see and taste Lucca in just one day?
It goes without saying that Lucca, the city of a hundred and one churches, cannot be discovered in one day. We will take up the challenge with a selection of highlights.
With Michelin (travel guide) at hand, we can still taste the essence of a lively city and catch a glimpse of many impressive palazzi.
We start at Porta San Donato. We stroll triumphantly for a quarter of a round on the shady medieval ramparts of the once impregnable fortress city. Bastions that offer a beautiful view from above are silent witnesses of turbulent and uncertain times. ‘A place to be and to see’. Inspired by the past of power and wealth, we dive into the city like many history lovers.
Lucca was built according to a medieval plan and much of the architecture bears witness to the different historical periods that it has gone through and made this city what it is today. From one highlight to the next, we experience the most interesting highlights, including the Duomo di San Martino, whose Romanesque façade is the eye-catcher, and the Roman amphitheatre on the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro. “Panem et circenses” or "bread and games" can still be taken literally here today.
In playful ways, waiters try to win over guests for their establishment. Street artists compete with each other to get a piece of 'their' pocket.
A beautiful spectacle to watch and compare, but in the end we prefer our present and daily bread elsewhere.
With enough imagination, you can wander through the city centre for a whole day along the many squares, humble 😉 sacred houses and rich city palaces. Many other sights can be found in the created highlights.
Lucca, 'a place to be and to see' can be taken literally.
This can be your appointment with history.
Taste and enjoy...
