The Mura di Lucca are a magnificent example of Renaissance-era fortifications encircling the historic city of Lucca, Italy.
Constructed between the 16th and 17th centuries, these impressive walls stretch for 4.2 kilometers and are among the best-preserved in Europe.
Eleven strategically positioned bastions are integrated within the walls, providing strongholds for artillery defense.
Originally designed to protect the city from external threats, the walls today offer a picturesque path for walking and cycling, surrounded by lush greenery.
