Information about Lucca and what to do:The tiny old town of Lucca has a particular charm that you hardly will find elsewhere. The city wall of Lucca has preserved its art treasures nearly intact and prevented that these could be altered in the course of the time. Among these, it is worth mentioning: Piazza Anfiteatro with its characteristic oval shape, the Guinigi Tower and the medieval buildings, the cathedral of San Martino, the beautiful San Michele and Palazzo Pfanner which was chosen by many film directors as location for their films such as the popular Portrait of a Lady by Jane Campion starring Nicole Kidman. Besides the historic sites, Lucca is also well known for being the hometown of the musician Giacomo Puccini, whose operas are famous worldwide. The whole year round the city centre hosts cultural events (concerts, exhibitions, etc.) inspired by its works. Just 25 km from the centre lies Torre del Lago, where Puccini spent most of its life. Today the area organizes an open air theatre where the Festival Pucciniano takes place during the summer. Therefore, Lucca offers lots of wonderful attractions that will make your holiday unforgettable.Entrance on top floor (in common with another apartment).
