ROCKY'S ITALY: Lucca - The Walls

The 16th-century walls of Lucca, Italy, make up one the best-preserved examples of modern fortification. Encircling the entirety of the old city, the walls are 2.5 miles (4km) long and were designed specifically to resist cannon fire. Today they are enjoyed by the Lucchesi and tourists alike as an urban park where you can walk, jog or bicycle under the shade of oak and chestnut trees.

Grazie for a reminder of how interesting Lucca is. I've only been there once for just part of a day back in 1999 but I remember it fondly and want to experience it again. I'd love to stay there for a month.
