Lucca Italy Points of Interest – Tuscany Travel Guide Series (VIDEO)

The beautiful city of Lucca in Italy has lots of historic points of interest for any tourist visiting Tuscany. Two of the main highlights is a visit to Lucca Cathedral of San Martino and the Chiesa San Michele Arcangelo, but Lucca has lots of unique churches to see and no Lucca travel guide would be would be complete without a mention of the Piazza Dell Anfiteatro and the Chiesa San Frediano.

Lucca is full of historic sights from the Roman times. The walls of Lucca Old Town have been integrated into everyday life and are now used as pathways for walking, jogging and cycling. The main square – Piazza dell Anfiteatro – is unique and gets it’s name from the Amphitheater which it was built around and is an historic sight in it’s own right as the stands around the amphitheater were built up around the empty stands to create the circular plaza.

There are numerous other smaller plazas which you must visit including Puccini Plaza.

Don’t leave Lucca without seeing the fresco or mosaic on the San Frediano church or the St. Micheal’s church with it’s statue of the archangel Michael defeating a dragon at the top.
