Historic centre of Lucca FTWHS by Riccardo Quaran…

The Historic Centre of Lucca is a Tuscan city, originally founded by the Etruscans, before becoming a Roman colony. The city still retains a Roman imprint, thanks to its regular street plan in its centre. The city is also significant for its Renaissance-era city walls that have been largely preserved. Erected to encircle the existing city, they were built as a declaration of the importance of the then city state.
