*** LOCATION ***
Famous for its historical monuments, it is one of the few capitals to preserve the historic center, rich in ancient structures from various eras, completely surrounded by a sixteenth-century city wall intact as a whole and almost practically unchanged over the centuries. It is a notable city of art in Italy. The historic monumental center of the city has remained almost intact in its original appearance, thus being able to include various valuable architectures, such as the numerous medieval churches of considerable architectural richness (Lucca has even been nicknamed the "city of 100 churches", precisely due to the presence of numerous churches in its historic core, consecrated and not, present in the past and now in the city), towers and bell towers, and monumental Renaissance palaces of fine stylistic linearity.
The city boasts also suggestive urban spaces: the most famous is certainly that of Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, born on the ruins of the ancient Roman amphitheater by the architect Lorenzo Nottolini and unique in its architectural genre.
The main artery of the historic city is the narrow and medieval via Fillungo, which brings together the major commercial establishments of the city.
Other suggestive squares are then piazza San Michele, the historical fulcrum of the city and Piazza San Martino, the religious hub where the famous Cathedral of San Martino stands.
Piazza Napoleone (also called Piazza Grande by the Lucchesi), was commissioned by Elisa Baciocchi during her Principality, demolishing ancient medieval buildings including a church. Piazza del Giglio is located adjacent to it, overlooked by the theater of the same name (Teatro del Giglio), which is to be counted as a theater of tradition.
