Created by Napoleon's sister, Elisa Baciocchi, this splendid villa with its 17th-century gardens has always been the residence of noble families and great patrons of art.

This tower is easily recognizable: it has a leaning tree growing out of its top.

A visit to this 17th-century villa with its magnificent gardens is well worthwhile.

This city square is built on an ancient Roman amphitheater situated in the heart of Lucca's historical center.

One of the strangest sights in Lucca is this fifteenth-century home, with a battlement tower surmounted by oak trees whose roots have grown into the room below.

The house where Giacomo Puccini was born in 1858 is now a museum, which houses portraits, scores, sketches and other memorabilia related to this famous composer's life and career.
