Porta dei Borghi

Emerge from Lucca’s narrow alleys into a unique piazza, built on the remains of an ancient gladiatorial arena.

Unwind in the attractive square where Roman gladiators once fought. For one day of the year it is now completely filled with flowers.

A Romanesque-style church filled with many notable works of art and the well-preserved body of an 800-year-old saint.

Gaze out over Lucca from one of the city’s most famous landmarks, a medieval tower topped by a collection of oak trees.

A privately owned 17th-century palace that attracts the crowds for the beauty of its artwork and walled Italian garden.

Enjoy superb views of Lucca from the highest point in the city, the roof of an ancient tower that’s been a public clock since the 14th century.
