Lucca, a beautiful city in Tuscany, Italy, has a long history dating back to around 180 BC when the Etruscans first settled here.
Walking the narrow alleys of Lucca is like stepping into a real-life storybook of Italy's past! The city is renowned for its intact Renaissance-era city walls and well-preserved historic center. It is also home to important historical and cultural sites, including the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, built in the second half of the 1st century A.D., and the Guinigi Tower, a 44-meter-tall tower offering stunning views of the city.
Moreover, Lucca is nicknamed the "town of a hundred churches" due to its many places of worship. The Via Francigena, an ancient pilgrimage route, passes through here, guiding pilgrims to Rome and other villages, contributing for a long time to the funds for building churches.
Overall, Lucca is a city full of history and charm, like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered! 🤗 Have you had the opportunity to visit Lucca?
