The city
What to expect from Lucca.
Lucca is a flat town entirely surrounded by Renaissance walls, a half-hour by train from Pisa. On the walls runs a tree-lined promenade of about 4 km, suitable for walking or cycling. Inside them are the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, an oval square over the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre, the Torre Guinigi with trees on top, the churches of San Michele in Foro and the Duomo di San Martino, and the house where the composer Giacomo Puccini was born.
