Porta Sant'Anna (St. Anna's Gate)

Highlight • Monument

Porta Sant'Anna, officially known as Porta Vittorio Emanuele, is one of the gates in the walls of Lucca – popularly known by locals as the "hole" of Sant'Anna, after the fault of the same name.

The gate was opened in 1910 to serve the essential motorized traffic in the essential part of the city, which caused the Baluardo (bulwark) San Donato, erected in the 17th century for defensive purposes, to no longer be fit for the task. It was therefore decided that the new entrance would have two arches, in line with the enlarged via Vittorio Emanuele, which would replace the Via di San Paolino as the main essential artery.

In order not to spoil the view of San Donato, a favour was wisely granted to two fairly simple carriageways (instead of a superstructure) flanked by two pedestrian passages under the bull that separates the shoe from the parapet of the wall, thus keeping the continuity intact. In the middle of the gate, between the two central doorways, the marble coat of arms of the city can be seen. The arches that divide the compartment, made in the thickness of the walls, are made of exposed brick.

St. Michael's Square

Highlight • Religious Site

Also called "the city of a hundred churches", Lucca is one of the most beautiful and loved cities of art in Tuscany. The amphitheater, its walls, the Cathedral of San Martino are just some of the many attractions not to be missed in this city which is located on the Via Francigena and on the Cammino del Volto Santo. The Volto Santo is a large wooden crucifix found inside the cathedral of San Martino.

Lucca City Walls

Highlight • Monument

Lucca has one of the most impressive fully preserved city walls in Europe. The wall with the Italian name "Mura di Lucca" is almost 4 km long and completely surrounds the historic center. The city walls are more than 10 meters high in many places. In the past, the city was accessed through 6 gates, today there are more entrances. On the tree-lined wall there is a wide circular path.

Historic Centre of Lucca

Highlight • Historical Site

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.

Church of San Michele Arcangelo

Highlight • Religious Site

Originally founded in 777, the church underwent major renovations in the 12th century. Further changes were made in the 16th century, including raising the height of the medieval church, replacing the wooden roof structure with a vaulted ceiling, and adding a portico to the front facade. The interior of the church is home to several notable works of art, including two paintings from the school of Zacchia il Vecchio and a 14th-century fresco of the Madonna enthroned with two angels. The bell tower, built in 1797, is a beautiful example of the late Baroque style.
