At the time indicated, we'll meet at Piazzale Giuseppe Verdi? and head to the walls of Lucca. Are you ready to discover one of the landmarks of this UNESCO World Heritage city?

During the tour, we'll explore the evolution of military engineering in Italy from the 13th to the 17th centuries. The walls of Lucca were never used for defensive purposes and have thus remained virtually intact to this day.

The wall system is now part of a public park with green areas surrounding the city. We'll admire these fortifications from both the outside and inside. A visit to the inner galleries of the walls of Lucca will show where cannons and ammunition were stored.

We will also visit bastions such as San Donato or Santa Maria and learn about their roles within the wall structure as well as the restoration work completed in recent years.

Lastly, we'll conclude the guided tour after 2 hours at the bastion of San Martino.
