Renaissance Walls of Lucca Mura di Lucca
Walk atop one of the world's most beautiful and perfectly preserved Renaissance fortifications. These magnificent walls surround the city in a green embrace, offering a four kilometre tree lined promenade that has never witnessed a siege. It is a living park where locals cycle, jog, and socialise high above the cobblestone streets. With eleven bastions and six main gates, the walls provide a panoramic view of the Tuscan landscape and the charming city skyline. Visiting Lucca is incomplete without experiencing the peaceful and elevated perspective offered by this remarkable architectural masterpiece.
