INFORMATION ABOUT LUCCA ITALY
Lucca is a beautiful Tuscan town enclosed in thick sixteenth century walls. It has the remains of a Roman amphitheatre built in the second half of the Ist century A.D. and like the whole Tuscany, Lucca boasts marvellous churches.
Lucca and this part of Tuscany is extremely particular and much of its territory has a completely different appearance to the classic Tuscan landscape. Rather than the gentle peaceful hills of Renaissance paintings, you can find majestic mountains of marble. Art and culture are of considerable importance in the territory near Lucca. The capital of the province is actually a unique example that has perfectly preserved its city walls and it has maintained its characteristics since roman times up today.
In the surrounding of Lucca there are around 300 historic villas built between the 15th and the 19th century, and those not be missed include Villa Reale di Marlia, Villa Grabau and Villa di Carmigliano.
