Lucca: the city

Lucca, capital of the eponymous Tuscan province, has the uniqueness of preserving its historic center surrounded by sixteenth-century walls. The city has Roman origins, but it is possible that it was created thanks to previous colonies. The name Lucca seems refering to words such as "sacred wood" (lucus), "cut" (lucare) and "bright space" (leuk).
