Lucca

Lucca is of interest to travelers for its impressive architecture, interesting history and unique defensive walls that were designed by Leonardo Da Vinci.

The city was an independent city state until the 18th century and was the birth place of Giacomo Puccini, a world famous Italian opera composer.
