Hotels in Lucca, Tuscany

Lucca, birthplace of Giacomo Puccini, is situated in Tuscany, 20 km from Pisa and 70 km from Florence. Among other reasons, Lucca is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls around the old town and for the Lucca Summer Festival. But there are also many interesting sites, like Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, where Traces of the amphitheatre can still be seen in, the Academy of Sciences (1584), The Casa di Puccini (open to the public) and many richly built medieval basilica-form churches like the Cathedral of St Martin, the Romanesque church Basilica of San Frediano situated on the Piazza San Frediano, The Ducal Palace and the impressive Roman Catholic basilica of San Michele in Foro.
