The walls stand as the most significant and emblematic monument of the city of Lucca. Walking entirely around the city atop them (approximately 4.2 km) offers a splendid panorama of the city and surrounding countryside, providing a major attraction for locals and tourists alike. In the context of Italian cities that have maintained their defensive structures, Lucca stands out due to the integrity of its circuit which dates back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Its walls constitute a prime example
They have also retained the sorties and dungeons that were used in the past for military purposes and as warehouses. The circuit was originally equipped with 126 artillery pieces, which have disappeared, but the embrasures (i.e. the locations in which they were placed) are still identifiable. Such a complex and articulated monument obviously needs continuous maintenance and restoration especially in view of its increased use for tourism and culture.
