Lucca City Walls

The Lucca City Walls are the most iconic feature of the city, offering visitors a unique glimpse into its past. These massive, tree-lined fortifications, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, are among the best-preserved Renaissance walls in Italy. Stretching for about 4 kilometers (2.5 miles), the walls are now a pedestrian promenade where locals and tourists alike can walk, cycle, or simply relax while taking in views of the city and surrounding countryside. The walls are dotted with several bastions and gates, each with its own history and charm. A walk along the walls is not only a journey through Lucca's history but also an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of this serene and picturesque city from above.
