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.

The historic center of Lucca is one of the best-preserved medieval hearts of Europe, enclosed entirely by a splendid, intact Renaissance city wall from the 16th-17th century. Known as the city of "100 churches" for its extraordinary density of religious buildings, the center is a large pedestrian area full of cobbled streets, soaring medieval towers, and unique squares.
