The city walls of Lucca are very impressive

It was so nice to be able to cycle on the walls that I didn't even want to leave it. The very wide path facilitates mutual space.

The Duomo di San Martino, or St. Martin's Cathedral, is the principal church of the Archdiocese of Lucca. Construction of the cathedral began in 1060 and the decorated facades were completed in 1241. The west facade, designed by Guido Bigarelli, is made of white and gray marble and is richly decorated with human and animal figures. Notable is the statue of Martin of Tours (San Martino) on horseback, sharing his cloak with a beggar. The interior of the cathedral contains several works of art, including the statue Volto Santo (Holy Face) of Jesus with a dark face. Despite the rich decorations on the exterior, the cathedral was never fully completed.

The city walls of Lucca, like those of Pisa, are well preserved, making them ideal for wonderful walks and bike rides. Characteristic of the city walls are the wide tree-lined avenues and the beautiful views over the city. The city walls were built around 1500 and completed in 1645.

The birthplace of Giacomo Puccini. is a gem that no one should ignore. Behind the heavy fortress walls that bear witness to a glorious past, lies a particularly atmospheric medieval town with rich and exceptional architecture. Life is good in Lucca, where cyclists and pedestrians come and go in the lively, narrow streets. Because of the church facades that almost look like lace, the two old towers that have been saved from the hundred that used to reach the sky and the oval-shaped Piazza dell'Anfiteatro with its cozy terraces, it is tempting to stay a little longer in Lucca.

Lucca's city wall has enclosed the old city center since 180 BC. The current wall, built between 1504 and 1645, served as a defense against attacks from nearby Florence. The only use of the wall as a defense line was against the waters of the River Serchio on November 18, 1812. As one of the best-preserved examples of a 16th-century European fortification, the wall remains an impressive symbol of Lucca's rich history.
