Lucca City Walls

11 reviews of Lucca City Walls

A very pleasant walk

There are few walls as well-preserved as those in Lucca, which are about 5 miles long. They walls remain intact because, even though they were designed to defend against enemies, they were never used in battle. They encircle and mark off the historic center of the city and have been transformed into a public promenade that can be traveled in its entirety either by foot or on bike. It is a very pleasant walk, especially at sunset.

Five km of walls

Cinco km de murallas

Desde un punto de vista artístico, la ciudad de Lucca, encerrada en sus asombrosas murallas del renacimiento (1504-1645), mantiene todavía hoy intacto su núcleo urbanístico, conservando así la planta medieval. La muralla está intacta (son aproximadamente 5 Km. , formada por 12 cortinas y 11 balaustres de 12 metros aproximadamente sobre el nivel de la ciudad) . Secciones de esta, han sido transformadas en un paseo alto sobre los techos de las casas, lo cual permite ver la ciudad en un modo único. Para tener una vista general de esta perfecta estructura, así como de la forma de su murallas y de los bastiones, y para percatarse del aspecto de ciudad-estado que se ha mantenido en el tiempo con una estructura urbanística de calles estrechísimas y callejones sobre los cuales se alzan torres que se abren en los improvistos ensanches de las plazuelas, vale la pena subir a la cumbre de la [poi=455761]Torre Guinigi[/poi], unida a las homónimas casas medievales; la vista domina toda la ciudad.
From an artistic standpoint, the city of Lucca, enclosed within its amazing walls Renaissance (1504-1645), still keeps intact its urban core, preserving medieval plant. The wall is intact (they are about 5 km, consists of 12 shades and 11 balusters approximately 12 meters above the city). Sections of this, have been transformed into a ride high above the roofs of the houses, which lets you see the city in a unique way. For an overview of this perfect structure and the shape of its walls and bastions, and to realize the aspect of city-state that has been maintained over time with a very narrow street urban structure and alleys on towers which stand open in the improvistos extensions of the squares, worth the climb to the summit of the Tower Guinigi, together with the homonymous medieval houses, the view overlooking the whole city.

The walls of Lucca

Les remparts de Lucca

Telle Carcassonne, la petite ville de Lucca est entourée de remparts sur lesquels on peut marcher librement pour en faire tout le tour ou presque. Très prisés des joggeurs, ils sont entourés d'une coulée verte où l'on peut se promener et donc courir facilement tout en profitant de la vue sur le reste de Lucca, absolument magnifique.
This Carcassonne, the small town of Lucca is surrounded by walls on which you can walk freely to go all round or nearly so. Popular with joggers, they are surrounded by a green corridor where you can walk and run so easily while enjoying the view of the rest of Lucca, absolutely beautiful.

Very beautiful to visit

Molto belle da visitare

Excellent
Sia con gli amici che con il partner, la mura mantengono il loro carattere storico negli anni restando di una bellezza incredibile. Apprezzo particolarmente il modo in cui siano ben tenute, con particolare attenzione al prato che le circonda. Una nota particolare riguardo i baluardi che sono ideali per passarci appuntamenti o momenti romantici, è possibile sedersi su una delle numerose panchine o anche sul prato. Durante la fine di ottobre e i primi giorni di novembre ha luogo il Lucca Comics&Games che riempie le mura di gente da tutta Italia!
Very beautiful to visit both with friends and with the partner, the walls maintain their historical character over the years remaining of an incredible beauty. I particularly appreciate the way they are well kept, with particular attention to the lawn that surrounds them. A special note about the bulwarks that are ideal for passing appointments or romantic moments, you can sit on one of the many benches or even on the lawn. During the end of October and the first days of November the Lucca Comics & Games takes place which fills the walls of people from all over Italy!

The walls of Lucca built around 1504

Le mura di Lucca costruite intorno al 1504

Excellent
Sono il maggior esempio in Europa di Mura conservate completamene integre in una grande città. Tutto il percorso delle Mura di Lucca è lungo 4 km e 223 metri può essere attraversato a piedi oppure anche in bicicletta; è un panorama pazzesco poter attraversare le mura durante le 4 stagioni e osservare la città dall’alto. Nel percorso della cerchia muraria sono presenti 11 baluardi: elementi difensivi. Sulle mura sono presenti anche bar,ristoranti ecc.
The walls of Lucca built around 1504, are the largest example in Europe of Mura completely preserved intact in a large city. The whole route of the Walls of Lucca is 4 km long and 223 meters can be crossed on foot or even by bicycle; It is a crazy view to be able to cross the walls during the 4 seasons and observe the city from above. In the path of the walls there are 11 bulwarks: defensive elements. On the walls there are also bars, restaurants, etc.

One of the symbols of the city as well as a place of aggregation

Mirabile opera militare trasformata da Maria Luigia di Borbone in passeggiata dei lucchesi è uno dei simboli della città oltre che un luogo di aggregazione
