Lucca
Cross the large and imposing Renaissance defensive walls and begin your pleasant stroll through winding alleys and evocative squares shaded by historical buildings, tall medieval towers and noble palaces.
Stop to admire "The Holy Face" (an eight-foot-tall, ancient wooden carving of Jesus crucified. Nicodemus, shortly after the resurrection of Christ, carved the body, but fell asleep before carving the face. When he awoke, the face was miraculously completed). The crucifix is located in the Cathedral of San Martino.
Then, discover what can be considered the symbols of Lucca: the Amphitheatre Square (a Roman amphitheatre, now buried about three metres below ground, was built outside the walls in the 2nd century AD), and the Torre Guinigi, a medieval tower capped with trees.
