Attractions and Places To See around Montecarlo - Top 20

What a beautiful place. We only found one spot where you can pass through, but for bird protection reasons, you shouldn't walk along the embankment. You walk a lot around the lake on the shady paths. Unfortunately, you can't see anything from there because of the tall bushes. It's absolutely peaceful here. There's a little house with a lovely view of the lake.

Beautiful ancient oak tree!

The centuries-old oak, called The Witches' Oak located in the municipality of Capannori, a meeting point for many cyclists given the numerous paths that surround the large oak. Historic monument to see

One of the most beautiful and famous villas in the province of Lucca, Villa Torrigiani is located in the hamlet of Camigliano, in the municipality of Capannori. Its park is very large and of great beauty, in particular thanks to the French garden.

Is it possible to see and taste Lucca in just one day? It goes without saying that Lucca, the city of a hundred and one churches, cannot be discovered in one day. We will take up the challenge with a selection of highlights. With Michelin (travel guide) at hand, we can still taste the essence of a lively city and catch a glimpse of many impressive palazzi. We start at Porta San Donato. We stroll triumphantly for a quarter of a round on the shady medieval ramparts of the once impregnable fortress city. Bastions that offer a beautiful view from above are silent witnesses of turbulent and uncertain times. ‘A place to be and to see’. Inspired by the past of power and wealth, we dive into the city like many history lovers. Lucca was built according to a medieval plan and much of the architecture bears witness to the different historical periods that it has gone through and made this city what it is today. From one highlight to the next, we experience the most interesting highlights, including the Duomo di San Martino, whose Romanesque façade is the eye-catcher, and the Roman amphitheatre on the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro. “Panem et circenses” or "bread and games" can still be taken literally here today. In playful ways, waiters try to win over guests for their establishment. Street artists battle each other to get a piece of 'their' pocket. A beautiful spectacle to watch and compare, but in the end we prefer our present and daily bread elsewhere. With enough imagination, you can wander through the city centre for a whole day along the many squares, humble 😉 sacred houses and rich city palaces. Many other sights can be found in the created highlights. Lucca, 'a place to be and to see' can be taken literally. This can be your appointment with history. Taste and enjoy...

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.

Beautiful building and park. The villa is an extraordinary example of Baroque architecture in Tuscany.

Cozzile was probably founded at the end of the 12th century around fortification works with lookout and extreme defense functions. Even at the beginning of the 14th century they housed a castellan and a small garrison on behalf of the people of Lucca. Around the fortress a fortified town arose with a structure similar to that of Massa, organized in a "fishbone" pattern on both sides of the road that crossed it and which, exiting at the other end of the town, led towards the Apennines and towards Modena. The houses were grouped into two neighborhoods or "deeds" (Volata to the East, and Cessana to the West of the main road) with the square located to the north and the church to the south. In the city walls, of which important remains are still visible incorporated into the houses built above them, three doors opened: one to the east, corresponding to the entrance to the town of the medieval road from Massa (gate to Massa), one to the west , on the diametrically opposite side (Porta Vecchia)
