San Giusto Parish

Highlight • Religious Site

The Church of San Giusto is an important church in Porcari, a town in the Italian region of Tuscany. The church was built to replace a much older church at the end of the 15th century. It was extended to three naves in 1745 and further enlarged in the last century. The facade was completed in 1884 and the church was consecrated in 1930. From the church, you have a beautiful view of the town.

Church of San Michele Arcangelo

Highlight • Religious Site

Originally founded in 777, the church underwent major renovations in the 12th century. Further changes were made in the 16th century, including raising the height of the medieval church, replacing the wooden roof structure with a vaulted ceiling, and adding a portico to the front facade. The interior of the church is home to several notable works of art, including two paintings from the school of Zacchia il Vecchio and a 14th-century fresco of the Madonna enthroned with two angels. The bell tower, built in 1797, is a beautiful example of the late Baroque style.

Lucca has one of the most impressive fully preserved city walls in Europe. The wall with the Italian name "Mura di Lucca" is almost 4 km long and completely surrounds the historic center. The city walls are more than 10 meters high in many places. In the past, the city was accessed through 6 gates, today there are more entrances. On the tree-lined wall there is a wide circular path.

San Martino Cathedral, Lucca

Highlight • Religious Site

In the left transept of the cathedral, which is well worth seeing, is the famous tomb of Ilaria del Caretto, who died in childbed in 1405 at the age of 19 as the wife of a nobleman from Lucca. The portrait is made of the finest Carrara marble and is unusually realistic. Her female body is clearly visible under the robe, while she just seems to be asleep. A small dog watches over her feet, a sign of marital fidelity.
The wooden relic Volto Santo in the cathedral is also very famous.

Altopascio

Highlight • Settlement

Historically known as the "City of Bread", Altopascio is a medieval village inextricably linked to the hospitality of pilgrims travelling the Via Francigena. The symbol of the town is its majestic bell tower which, with the tolls of its famous bell called "La Smarrita", guided travellers lost in the dense surrounding woods during the night.

Medici Bridge at Ponte a Cappiano

Highlight • Bridge

Located on the Via Francigena, it houses a hospice for pilgrims.
The Medici Bridge of Cappiano on the Usciana canal, emissary of the Fucecchio Marshes, had in the past an important role in the internal navigation system, allowing, until the nineteenth-century reclamations, commercial relations in the stretch between Pistoia and Pisa.

Its current form dates back to the first half of the sixteenth century when Cosimo I de' Medici decided to rebuild it, as documented by the marble epigraphs affixed to its brick structures. The open and covered bridges and the various annexed buildings date back to that period: the inn, the ironworks, the mill and the house of the administrator of the farm.
However, there was already news of this bridge in the Middle Ages, managed by the Hospitallers of Altopascio and included in the Via Francigena itinerary. In 1325, during a conflict between Florence and Lucca, it was destroyed. It was subsequently rebuilt and equipped with a tower and drawbridges, a lock to regulate the flow of water and eel fishing. There was also a mill and a water-powered saw for cutting wood. See: viamedicea.it/it/lungo-il-cammino/ponte-mediceo-di-cappiano
