Lucca (Italy) - Wink Travel Guide

Lucca is a city of some 90,000 people in Tuscany. Its long history goes back to Etruscan and Ancient Roman times, and the city retains pieces of ancient architecture.

Lucca's heyday was in the Gothic era just before the Renaissance, and the city contains much marvellous architecture from that era.

The area of most interest to visitors is still enclosed within the old city defensive wall. The top of these broad walls is a ring park, a pleasant place for walking.
