Then we will reach the center of Lucca. Lucca has a very rich history and is one of the most interesting Tuscan towns: born as a roman colony, during the 16th century has been completely surrounded by walls becoming a real fortress. During the Napoleonic era Lucca was occupied by the French and became the Principality of Elisa (Napoleon sister).
