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

The current anfiteatro is based on the former Roman amphitheatre dating back to the 1st or 2nd centuries. The ring of buildings surrounding the space follows the shape of the ancient amphitheatre. Most of these buildings now contain restaurants or shops that sell souvenirs of Lucca. The central area is lined with restaurants that are well patronised and serve drinks and meals aimed at the tourist market. We went there one afternoon for an aperitivo and ended up staying for pizza which we all enjoyed. These restaurants tend to be open till late in the evening. There are usually markets there on Wednesdays and special occasions. We visited there after midnight on a festival evening and the markets were still buzzing. You will find tourist groups meandering through the anfiteatro throughout the day. A piece of artwork in the centre appears to be a popular place for group photos and selfies. There are 4 large gateway allowing entry to the anfiteatro. It is just off Via Fillungo, the main shopping street and very easy to locate.

As with a few other Lucca attractions this Basilica calls for a visit. Artwork, carvings, displays are worth every minute of the visit. The monumental golden mosaic on the facade is breathtaking. The 12th century baptismal font is a must see. This is also the resting place for Santa Zita (1212-1272) and she is on display inside the Basilica. Please be respectful when visiting the Basilica and dress appropriately.

Whether you walk or cycle around the walls you will get a real feel for the scale and attractions of Lucca. Some of the underground areas are also worth dropping down for a view.

We visited Lido di Camaiore in July for the first time, it has a wonderful ( and clean ) promenade and beach. The pier is great to stroll out to with fabulous views to the sea and mountains, its a nice welcome breeze too in the summer. there is a handy cafe / bar at the end which opens at around mid day and into the evening.

The winding road up to this unusual hill town is amazing with spectacular views. The unusual little village with the view of the 4-5 stories looking at the valley and only 1-2 stories looking at the mountain is just striking.
