Introduction

The Lucca city walls were built in the 16th century and are approximately 4.5 kilometers long. There are 12 curtain walls, 11 bastions and 4 gates. This is the first step to understanding Lucca. Spectacular city walls can be seen shortly after leaving the train station. Unlike the design of Chinese city walls, there are no moats on the outside here. You can enter and climb the city walls for free from an extended bastion. It takes about an hour to climb and circle the wall, and there are multiple exits along the way to enter the city. The towering and magnificent city walls surround the old town area and are wide enough to accommodate a car passing. People ride bikes around the city walls on weekends.
