Town of Lucca


The medieval town of Lucca is surrounded by a wall!  We entered through this gate in the wall into the town.


We walked around the town a bit before dinner.

San Michele in Foro


This is the Piazza Anfiteatro which are houses built in a circle so that performances could take place and people could just watch from their windows!  Apparently, this is unique to Lucca.


The buildings really are curved!
