Founded by the Etruscans, Lucca became a Roman colony in 180 B.C. During the
12th century, it enjoyed a period of prosperity based on the silk trade. Lucca
remained an independent republic for over 500 years, until Napoleon came along
and created the principality of Lucca.
Everything is contained within Lucca's wide, well-preserved Renaissance city
walls – 2.5 miles around – and you will stroll in search of Lucca's highlights,
from its charming squares to the beautiful churches of San Martino and San
Frediano. You will also glimpse the city's Roman past in Lucca's market square
and medieval quarter.
You will have free time to stroll around this charming town, walk the city
walls, climb the Guinigi tower, and enjoy the shops at Via Fillungo. Sites
not to be missed include the cathedral of San Frediano, where you can view
the body of St. Zita in a glass coffin, and the Ampitheatre, an elliptical
Roman colosseum on which houses have now been built.
