An acient Roman town and birthplace of the composer Giacomo Puccini, Lucca is one of the few towns in italy that still has its defensive fortifications intact.
Inside the walls lies a living museum of 14th-19th century terracotta roofed stoned houses, villas, secret gardens and courtyards, woven together by narrow traffic-free cobbled streets and impressive piazzas.
The most interesting of these squares is Piazza San Michele with its white limestone mediaeval church.
